My family is from Cuba. Power outages have been happening since ever and on a daily basis as well. This is nothing new.

Pretty bad when Cuba starts following California in energy policy.

Too many people charging their Teslas at the same time.

Were they gonna charge up all the e?V's

And this is news? The Cuban people are without electricity so often than when they finally get it, they call it "un alumbrón" But don't worry folks, the tourist resorts have plenty of electricity, water, food & jineteras so bring your Yankee dollars & you'll have the time of your life.

My Cuban friend was born on a plantain farm in Cuba without electricity.

You know what doesn’t fail. Coal and oil fired power plants.

That's a bunch of Lies they're doing this on purpose

[brianfoley]

Since when did Cuba become a state...I mean they've lost their electrical...so they must be a state or at least a large county somewhere in the US.

This is what happens when you depend on Russia for cheap oil to run your island’s entire electrical needs.
