It's bizarre that the US is blocking shipments of fuel, but not solar panels. It's almost like they really don't believe PV works. https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/13/climate/cuba-solar-us-oil-blockade-trump-china

    @ZaneSelvans@social.coop I was scratching my head until I figured out that PV might refers to “Photovoltaic” as in the process that makes solar panel works.

    @ZaneSelvans@social.coop Solar is shipped by China, and they're scared of China.

    @ZaneSelvans@social.coop It's an ideological thing: renewables are irredeemably "woke" (viz they work) and therefore any state relying on them has necessarily weakened its precious bodily fluids and is thus less of a power/force/threat/whatever. They'll come crawling for American oil, just you watch. /s

    @ZaneSelvans@social.coop I have a theory that Trump is secretly a greenie. It's either that or he's a fucking moron, but he couldn't possibly be that thick?

    @ZaneSelvans@social.coop When Trump started attacking Cuba I thought that the smartest move China could make is to flood Cuba with cheap or free solar panels and ebikes. It's interesting to see that it's actually happening. https://english.elpais.com/international/2026-03-22/without-fuel-but-pedaling-on-the-new-bicycle-boom-in-cuba.html
