You really shouldn't be getting downvoted on this. Sending $8 million dollars & no fuel is basically just a PR stunt for the politically shallow. It is bullshit.

    I expected the downvotes . Lemmy communities about specific country are always over protective of their countries. They can't accept a single criticism like cultists. They looks like fools to me

    They should get downvoted for ignorance. You cannot run a grid on solar and a few batteries.

    Also, Cuba already has large solar farms. 92 of them near completion.

    They need a solution today, not in a few years. Today. The solution today is fuel, either via the blockade being ended or fuel aid being delivered. Canada is neither delivering fuel aid nor even calling out the blockade.

    If the US succeeds in overthrowing their government, there's a pretty good chance the electrification effort underway will be going in the bin.
