  1. #Cuba - #Solarpowered #tricycles help #Cubans navigate #FuelShortages and blockades

    HAVANA (AP) — "Cuba’s iconic vintage cars have all but disappeared and in their place, small electric tricycles — most of them made in China — have become the primary means of transportation for hundreds of thousands of Cubans grappling with a prolonged fuel crisis.
    These are no ordinary electric tricycles — many Cubans have outfitted them with #SolarPanels, allowing the vehicles to recharge without relying on the island nation’s strained power grid.

    "The three-wheelers are a far cry from the old-timers that only a year ago cruised the streets spewing clouds of black smoke.

    " 'This is how people get around now,' said 40-year-old Liecer de la Cruz, who owns one of these vehicles.

    "The tricycles, with a cost between $2,000 and $4,000, are used to transport goods and serve fixed routes once covered by buses.

    "While their price is out of reach for most Cubans, many have sold their older gasoline-powered cars to buy the tricycles. Others got them from relatives abroad, where they are generally cheaper, and some small-business owners even used their profits to invest in them, expecting to recoup the cost."

    It’s the filming themselves thing that I find bizarre… the ones I’ve seem are always impeccably groomed… who are they trying to ‘influence’ with these creepy videos?
    “ This past week I have seen a dozen or more videos where Russian women film themselves crying in their cars, because they cannot fill up the tank due to Ukraines "Long range sanctions".”

  15. UK airlines will be allowed to cancel flights in advance over fuel shortages.

    New plans allow airlines to cancel flights in advance over fuel shortages, without losing valuable take off and landing slots at busy airports.

    Ministers hope the move would help avoid last-minute flight cancellations for passengers this summer over Middle East fuel supplies.

  17. Lufthansa cuts 20 000 flights due to soaring jet fuel.

    Lufthansa said it is removing a total of 20 000 short-haul flights from its schedule until October in an effort to offset the higher cost of jet fuel.

    The German airline said the flights being cut will save about 40 000 metric tons of jet fuel, the price of which has doubled since the outbreak of the Iran conflict.

  21. RE: mastodon.energy/@Sustainable20

    Fuel shortage developments.

    I was just talking about this earlier today: that is, the effects not quite being felt yet because of fuel gradually arriving which had set off before the start of the war, and the prediction that the "gap" will arrive in the UK in the next week or two.

    I don't have a car or any plans to fly - but I wonder how much it'll affect trains and buses.

    Roll on renewable power.
