I looked into why not solar

Financial Barriers: The U.S. embargo restricts #Cuba's access to international financing and raises the cost of importing components. With a $12 billion foreign debt, the government lacks the capital for massive upfront investments.

​Infrastructure Issues: The national grid was built in the 1980s and is too unstable to handle large amounts of variable solar power without expensive battery storage, which Cuba currently lacks

Oh dear

Amid #Trump crackdown on Chinese students, one US university - Purdue in #Indiana - appears to block them altogether

“It appears to be a blanket ban but unwritten policy to block the admission of students from #China and other countries the US has designated as “adversary nations” – including #Russia, #Iran, #Venezuela, #Cuba and North #Korea.”

Today in Labor History February 18, 1943: The Nazis arrested the members of the White Rose movement. The activist group called for opposition to the Nazi regime through an anonymous leaflet and graffiti campaign. The Nazis put on a show trial in which none of the defendants were allowed to speak. They executed Hans and Sophie Schol, and Christoph Probst on February 22, 1943. White Rose leaflets openly denounced the persecution and mass murder of the Jews. They might have taken their name from the poem "Cultivo una rosa blanca," by Cuban revolutionary and poet, Jose Marti. Alternatively, they may have gotten it from the B. Traven novel, “Die Weiße Rose” (The White Rose).” Traven served on the Central Council of the short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic. He escaped the terror that followed the crushing of the Republic and fled to Mexico, where he wrote numerous novels, including “Death Ship” and “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.”

In that piteous yet dignified message, our Cuban sister speaks to us about the elderly Cubans who are “dying prematurely because the blockade prevents the arrival of medications for heart conditions, high blood pressure and diabetes”; the new born babies that are fighting for their lives because “incubators in Cuba have had to be shut down due to a lack of fuel”; and the “terrorism through hunger” that is currently being inflicted on the Cuban people through a deliberate US policy to deprive Cuba of food and energy supplies.

Without a doubt, the current situation in our sister #Caribbean nation of #Cuba constitutes a severe humanitarian crisis that demands a significant and meaningful response from all people and governments of conscience.

A Call for Solidarity with the People of Cuba

The capitalist storm continues to spread throughout the world, leaving death, destruction, and misery in its wake. The bombs that were dropped on Venezuela a few weeks ago, and that continue to destroy Gaza, are now headed toward Cuba. Big Capital’s war of reconquest knows no borders, no limits… and no international law.

The Cuban people, who have endured more than 60 years of economic, political, and military aggression from the US government, are now being pushed to the breaking point. Without shame, those who impose war on the world from above declare their objectives: to suffocate the Cuban people in order to promote investment and “development.”

The “New Gaza” project, presented at the meeting of the wealthy and powerful in Davos, is in reality a declaration of principles: to destroy and depopulate different regions of the world, to be rebuilt and reorganized by and for capital.

On the island of Cuba, big capital intends to establish a new “Little Saint James,” Jeffrey Epstein’s island where the world’s powerful had their moral sanctuary of degradation. Capital does not want freedom, but slavery for the delight of tourists.

But the dignified people of Cuba know how to resist; they have resisted the world’s greatest military power for more than 60 years and have also inflicted significant defeats upon it. We support the Cuban people, and we call on the peoples of the world to demonstrate their solidarity and to prevent the suffocation of the Cuban people.

The capitalist system has all of humanity as its enemy. Any expression of resistance, rebellion, or freedom is and will be attacked until extermination. The so-called “new international order” is built on the corpse of humanity.

Far from the fads and posturing of the “progressive” intelligentsia that supports the implementation and return of slavery in their tourist paradises in a world that is crumbling, solidarity among the peoples resisting the aggressions of capitalism is necessary and urgent.

Cuba will survive, Venezuela will survive, Palestine will survive, Iran will survive.

Resistance and rebellion will endure.
