President Trump is a member of a group called “Just Stop Oil.”
He just set up a blockade to prevent any oil from being delivered to Cuba.
As a result, Cuba’s electrical system has shut down.
I hope all the leftists who hate Trump will applaud him for joining their goal of bringing an end to the use of oil.

Going green!
On top of that, Trump is getting rid of the anti-gay, anti-women regime in Iran. Liberals should love the guy.
On St Patrick’s day to lock up the Irish support
And not a drop of blood was shed.
Having a great gigggle about this. And so is DJT whose sense of humor is highly developed.
As if Cubans don’t suffer enough.
Just as I am sure they will support the mass deportation of 3rd worlders who were living virtuous low carbon lifestyles in their own countries and instead are living much higher carbon lifestyles in America. Deporting them back to their own countries will lead them to live much more virtuous lives again!
Turn off Germany’s faucet too.
The greenies should be literally ecstatic, why are they so upset now?
Re greenies are upset:
Because the greenies are basically watermelons… Green on the outside… But RED on the inside.
Trump is taking down one of their communist buddies…
The mental retard Greta Thunberg was demanding that Trump supply oil to Cuba.
Guess the gremlin doesn’t believe in man-made Climate apocalypse any more.
When aren’t they upset?
The idea of the known-retard gretta “demanding” anything is beyond reality. What a waste of human life.
Hawaii has the same kind of idiots. And the idiots who run the electrical grid keep the leaking non functioning windmills spinning so the ‘stop oil’ idiots and tourists think they have windmill power. Many on the island fell for the solar panel scammers for the feelz.
The difference is that there are places in Hawaii where it is windy all the time. Kappallua(north of Lahaina on Maui)is the windiest place I have ever been other than Aruba.
I played golf ONCE in Kappalua. Never will again.
I could have played golf in Aruba. I chose not to. My buddies said it SUCKED. Constant 30 mph wind.
About 15% of Aruba’s power comes from wind.
Hawaii gets about 11% of its power from wind.
Hawaii also gets 22% of its power from solar panels.
That is because it is SUNNY there a lot.
Solar does make sense in places like NM, AZ, CA, CO, HI and other places that get 300+ days of sun a year. Especially, in high elevation places in NM, AZ & CO where the solar panels work better in cold, clear, sunny days.
They still need to store that power after it is generated.
Where solar does not make sense is places that are overcast so much like Green Bay or other places around the Great Lakes.
Keep in mind it costs a lot of money to ship things to Hawaii. Aruba and the other Caribbean islands are right off shore Venezuela and our gulf coast refineries. Plus Aruba has their own refinery on the island. I was in Aruba about ten or fifteen years ago. Gasoline was about the same as here in NH at the time.
Well, and getting rid of another communist regime.
Cuba has very nearly accomplished the net zero goal of the climate change cult ….no electricity, no industry and no gasoline for cars. The Cubans must be living in a green utopia.
And dark
Cuba’s electrical system to completely shut down.
Ain’t communism just grand Moe.
The windmills, at least many when I lived there, were not hooked up to the grid. They were show pieces. Crews went out to maintain them still just so they would spin after the bearings and gear boxes had seized.
