Or a so-called "free market" country listens to greeniacs and climatista kooks and demolishes its own highly reliable, low-cost power industry as tribute to Gaia.
The article seems to just blame the USA/Trump & Hurricane Milton
Load all of our prison population on boats and send them to Cuba.
Solar flares? Or how about typical communist incompetence?
Socialism. That’s why.
“a deepening economic crisis, compounded by the U.S. embargo and widespread food shortages”
When has it ever been different there?
Or in any Communist country?
The US embargo makes no difference whatsoever. They have access to virtually every other market on Earth and subsidies from all sorts of places that should know better. Somehow nothing ever seems to work.
Funny that.
Cuba had a pretty thriving economy up until 1959 or so. Then they had a communist revolution and their economy has been in the toilet for 65 years or so. And, from the beginning, and even today, they seem to blame America for their horrible economy. But maybe — just maybe — communism doesn’t work.

This is what socialism is in real life.
This is what the Democrats want to bring to the U.S.
“Cuba’s power grid collapses again. Why does this keep happening?”
uh, because C-O-M-M-U-N-I-S-M?
the commies don’t know how to run the complex machines that they steal ... just like Venezuela and their stolen oil refineries ...
Send Newsome there to sort it out.
California has experience with grid failures
Democrats?
They have been hit by several hurricanes. I wonder if area-wise this is equivalent to what Florida and NC experienced?
California, you’re next.
Communism..
Electric systems without significant reserves are only as stable as the loads they serve.
In Cuba, the high cost and lack of fuel along with the cost of maintenance and lack of capital to replace obsolete plants means there are few reserves or extra and reliable spare generation.
Another problem is that after a major power outage, doing a “black start” is quite difficult on a power grid. What needs to be done is to have some generation up and running and then gradually get other generation up and running and synchronized until a grid is restored. The problem is that when the grid is down, someone needs to establish some generation so off-line plants have sufficient electrical controls operating to start their generators and synchronize.
Everybody knows it’s because they don’t have enough windmills and solar panels.
“Why does this keep happening?”
Well, of course, everyone knows that it is because of the decadent, Capitalist society 90 miles to their North! It cannot possibly be the fault of communism! /s
viva la communistas.
