Comment on Cubans fight blackouts with solar as US extends oil chokehold
MrMakabar@slrpnk.net 5 days agoI strongly disagree with that. Renewables are already cheaper then fossil fuels. Many other technologies like heat pumps and EVs are also at a similar level. The main issue is that the fossil fuel industry is lobbying hard to slow down the transition. Obviously having the worlds largest economy as a secure market and that country openly lobbying for the fossil fuel industry hurts other countries transition. We can see that in Latin America and Europe already. A lot of US money and pressure on those governments to keep using fossil fuels. It is really really bad and Cuba is just way too small to make a difference in that.

But having a guy like him push for oil is the best campaign for renewables. If it was for him I’m sure we’d use gasoline even to season the salads.

Does that campaign have access to the worlds most powerful military and secret service? Cause the fossil fuel campaing has now.
