The Cubans are back in the dark yet again, and one has to wonder how long this can go on for before there is some kind of change in the situation.  Perhaps a popular uprising or coup d'etat?

One has to figure anybody with enough money for a plane ticket would leave and ask for asylum just about anywhere else.  Also given the proximity to FL that people without enough money would be jumping in any boat that floats at this point.  There's no way they are going to have any money for buying oil or fixing their power plants anytime soon, and nobody is offering to give it to them for free, so what's the solution here?

Cuba’s power grid collapses after weeks of US oil blockade

Havana  —   Cuba’s electrical grid suffered a total collapse across the entire island on Monday, the country’s power operator said, marking the latest nationwide blackout in recent years, and the first since the US effectively shut off the flow of oil to the island of roughly 10 million people.  Efforts are underway to restore power across the country, the state-owned operator said, adding that no faults were detected in the electrical units operating at the time the grid collapsed.


Back to pre-industrial civilization for Cuba!

Cuba survived peak oil back in 2006 or so, it shouldn't be hard to get through it again.

Who would have thought that an American President would pour gasoline on collapse.





And that the American people would do nothing and let Satan have his way.
