China is building 75 solar parks in Cuba, and the island’s power crisis is becoming an infrastructure experiment

I didn’t know until recently that the US had such an effective blockade, so enemies of the US are Cuba’s only hope, this is great to see.

If you want to work for a major American corporation outside of the US (e.g., in the EU), you may run into trouble if you’ve ever been to Cuba (or a few other so-called terror states).
What are they worried about? There’s no reason to go that far, other than ensuring deaths of as many Cubans as possible, and the eventual collapse of the entire country.
Another 9/11
in your world did cuba or a communist or even a leftist did 9-11? in mine it was a cia trained saudi arabian guy
It should hurt to be this dumb.
I’d love to know what your cuba attacks america fantasy is
Hahahahaha
One can dream…
The EU should be taking notes
Fuck yeah.
Imagine if america built solar panels instead of bomb negotiation. But the american admin seems hell bent in making the worst choices. Good on china for showing how to do international policy.
The US is going all in on the doomed oil and coal economy, and going to continue to use the pursuit of oil as a cause for war, until its too weak to do so. Meanwhile the PRC and countries allied to it are transitioning to the green energy future: solar, wind, nuclear fission and fusion.
The long-term trend will be that the countries that are able to harness more energy, will outpace those that don’t. So soon it’ll be the US and Europe playing catchup to Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Don’t lump Europe together with the US. We are open to renewables and continuously expand them. Which does not apply to the US.
China isn’t exactly transitioning, they added 78GW of new coal power plants last year and are building more this year. They installed massive amounts of solar as well because it’s cheap and they need massive amounts of power.
Yes they are. The proportion of clean to unclean energy is vastly increasing : https://ember-energy.org/countries-and-regions/china/ . There is a green energy revolution for the past few decades.
Also compared to the world average, the PRC is at 42% clean to the world average of 43%, while the US is at 9%. See the article I posted below.
2001 - 2025:
That’s by percentage, if you look at absolute generation it looks more like this:
Coal is a smaller percentage of the total mix than in 2000 because they basically weren’t using solar or wind at all back then. They are still increasing their consumption of coal in absolute figures by a significant amount.
Percentage / proportion over time is more pertinent for the term “transitioning” than absolute levels.
It’s not. The U.S. adds approximately 40 GW of new renewable energy capacity per year, with 27 GW of that in solar and 6 GW in Wind. Over 90% of newly added grid capacity is green, largely thanks to the speed and scale of clean energy expansion relative to alternatives.
Where the US sucks is in retiring older facilities in order to cut emissions over time. We’re just producing an enormous energy glut. The carbon we emit is plateauing, but it’s never going to decline on these terms.
From what I could find, the US has a miniscule amount of green energy, and its not increasing in proportion to fossil fuels like natural gas: https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=62444
According to EIA data, the US is currently only ~9% clean energy sources, and 91% fossil fuels.
This is way behind the world average for clean energy, which is 43%, and the PRC’s which is 42% despite producing most of the consumer goods for the whole world.

Don’t put Europe in the same sentence as trumpistan please. Wildy incorrect
I wouldn’t be surprised if China might also be supplying weapons to Cuba.
What’s up with the down votes? I’m hoping they’re armed to the teeth if the US tries any shit.
sure hope so
so that the usa has an excuse to invade?
US needs an excuse to invade countries ? since when ?
The US is going to invade regardless, lol.
Hopefully enough weapons to scare US of Fucking A shit its pants.
There’s no weapons.
Fingers crossed they do
I hope so. If they’d been able to keep the missiles the Soviets had stationed there, they wouldn’t be in this mess.
I hope they do so much, they had it so hard
hopefully china gives enough weapons to cripple the US energy production , when US eventually invades Cuba
Here’s hoping right
More like 75 MSS SIGINT transceivers.
Thank you for the new profile picture, lol
ngl fam you probably should have left after that AI thread of yours
I mean…. Even if that IS true (which like lol)…. Who gives a shit? I would rather be spied on then fucking dead?
And what do they get in return for this?
To weaken/further humiliate the US? To market their green technology? For humanitarian purposes?
Take your pick, it’s some combination of the three.
It’s definitely all three, but I just want to point out that Cuba I believe has more doctors per capita than any other country and sends medical aid all over the world. They developed their own Covid vaccine because they had no access to the others thanks to the blockade. It’s not like they have nothing to offer.
China, there’s this people in Middle East… Hello?
Isolating the usa
Cubans have great cigars. 💨
Rum, too.
money or resources i guess ? thats how it usually goes but im not an expert
Infrastructure and a better chance of surviving the current situation
