The irony is that sanctions intended to increase pressure may end up accelerating Cuba’s renewable independence
I have watched a video about DW News YT channel talking about countries in Asia and Egypt doing something similar. They are installing big solar panels over large tracts of lands to mitigate the oil shortages and uncertainties around the supplies. Seems like China is really benefiting because everyone is rushing there for renewable energy solutions.

The US regime is helping everybody modernize and improve their supply systems by making the US a terrible trade partner. Good job, Trump.
How long will we justify starving children just so we can champion a flag of security theater?
The US is extremely cruel and sadistic to continue the sanctions and an oil embargo on cuba.
I believe that Donald Trump’s contribution to the adoption of renewable energy will go down in history as his greatest achievement.
I’d absolutely love it if China did the same with Puerto Rico. Don’t even acknowledge that it’s part of the federal government, the current administration sure in the fuck doesn’t.
Trump is possibly doing more to get the world off oil dependency than any liberal/progressive/Democrat/pro-environment politician ever dreamed of doing. ***Ironically***.
Nothing motivates innovation quite like having zero other options tbh
China continuing to expand their global influence as the US shrinks back and isolates.
That wont make the US great again, quite the opposite.
Obama tried to address it (though flawed) in the TPP. But Trump and the GOP ripped it up and handed control over to China for free (well, kickbacks via ‚donations‘ and trademarks to trump actually).
We’re number one when it comes to not doing the smart thing.
All of those stories about Peak Oil causing civilization to collapse seem so quaint now
It would be so funny if this is what finally gets every nation to fast-track a complete switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy. It would be more funny if people weren’t dying over all of this and if more powerful countries like China weren’t using this primarily to expand power and influence over others, but hey, at least one good thing is happening.
Cuba’s endured US hostility and harassment for over 75 years; they aren’t going to cave just because the dope in the White House cuts their access to fuel.
That’s it!!!
Trump’s closing the Straight of Hormuz, leveraging Venezuela & choking Cuba of oil?!
Do you know what this means?!
Trump’s a closeted environmentalist! He’s been secretly plotting to get the world over it’s addiction to Oil!
/s
Donald Trump: „What’s an ally?“
Another glorious victory for the world’s greatest environmentalist, Donald J Trump!
The Trump regime does not support solar and wind energy. They prefer methods that have the most dangerous and destructive impact on Mother Earth and humans.
These US pressure tactics actually had the opposite effect. Instead of stopping them, it made Cuba speed up their own energy projects with help from China. Given their long political history, it was bound to happen that they would turn away from the West once the oil supply was cut.
I never thought that donald trump would be the reason that the world finally stops consuming oil and switch to green alternatives.
Fuck. American. Capitalism
It’s hilarious to think that trump may end up being known for pushing the world toward renewables when it seems to be one of the things he hates the most.
Good Guy China, again.
America is hastening its own destruction daily. Not just Cuba, the whole rest of the world is waking up to the fact that they can’t have all their eggs in the volatile commodity basket, especially with an irrational actor like America fucking shit up.
With Chinas help. Imagine a country that’s working to be self sufficient, then you look at the U.S. actively preparing for war against you while implementing sanctions solely to hurt the people and economy
The USA will keep shooting itself in the foot and thinking it’s doing the right thing.
We need to embrace new technology, not say that China is scary and then ban it.
Its like we’re speed running to remove America’s influence on other nations.
The US is now single-handedly creating opportunities for other countries to no longer need anything from us. Brilliant work.
Remembering that one Chinese Unc who said Trump was the Chosen of God
To bring down the United States from within
He was more right than I could ever have imagined
The current administration is stuck in the 19th century when it comes to energy production and resource dependency. The actions taken by it will be almost guaranteed to help reduce the dependency on oil world wide and solidify Chinas influence globally.
AND THAT is how religion is killing the American empire.
Good. Solar, Wind.. The Earth is abundant.
Trump is pulling the band aid off on a long time wound, and it’s finally getting some air to heal after the initial pain.
He’s literally helping countries become independent by scamming his own people. Making the world great again!
I love that this is happening elsewhere, I live in South Africa and work in the solar industry. We were all pretty much forced to adopt renewable energy when loadshedding started back in ’08 and the industry has not died down since. My company alone has installed 100+ MWh worth of PV just in the last year.
I say it to anyone who will listen – Carter had solar panels on the Whitehouse and believed in investing in the technology. Had Reagan not stopped the funding for this research, the U.S. would be exporting kazillions of dollars‘ worth of solar panels globally and building good will at the same time.
Can’t trump wrap his head around this green thing; especially since his favorite political target, china, is now the leader in green energy development?
But Trump tweeted that it is a failed country and that he wants to make it the 51st state! How could that be? 😮
Trump strengthening our enemies with every move
China hasn’t had a major military conflict in 47 years. USA is a shithole 3rd world country that has no tricks outside of bullying smaller nations into compliance.
they’re literally our next-door neighbors, we should’ve been the ones doing this.
This administration is ushering in a green energy renaissance via their incompetence.
They might actually solve the climate crisis for future generations completely by accident.
I fucking love this for Cuba. The future is bright. Congrats!
The US is the evil empire.
Sick fucks running the show.
I’m no fan of the regime, but this is great for the people!
Oh no, Communists helping each other, what should we do? Oh, I know, go beg the leader of China to get Iran to do what we want. The Republican party is a joke heard around the world.
This is what should’ve been done in Puerto Rico after the last big hurricane. There was an opportunity there.
Xi is going to eat tDumps lunch, marco rubio and his fantastic team of experts not withstanding…
