As the #Trump admin starves it of fuel oil, #Cuba is pulling off one of the fastest #solar revolutions on the planet — with #China’s help
“Renewable energy now makes up roughly 10% of Cuba’s electricity, up from around 3% in 2024.
“It’s a really, really rapid boom,” Graham said.
The country has pledged that figure will rise to at least 24% by 2030.”

🪸🔈 Healthy #coral reefs produce a symphony of #sounds that #fish and other marine organisms use to navigate.
#Solar powered speakers now play these soundscapes for 14 hours a day to attract life to struggling #ecosystems. The Great Barrier Reef experiment helped double fish populations in 6 weeks.

As the U.S. starves it of oil, Cuba is pulling off one of the fastest solar revolutions on the planet — with China’s help
> Cuba is struggling with devastating nationwide blackouts as the United States’ effective oil blockade strangles fuel supplies. But this crisis may also be accelerating a China-backed clean energy revolution that’s been quietly unfolding in the Caribbean nation.

BC Hydro has announced it will add 8500 gigawatt hours per year from solar and wind over two years. They will come online by 2033 and boost the capacity by 13%. Most of it with better than 50% First Nations ownership.
Site C was over $10 Billion and produces 5100GWh annually.
Also by comparison, there is no Pipeline project and no First Nations have bought Transmountain.

For 25 years Cuba’s grid barely changed. Fossil fuels stayed above 90%, blackouts worsened, and aging infrastructure kept breaking down. Now solar is suddenly bending upward. Not ideology. System stress. The early signs of forced #SWB decentralisation are appearing. 🇨🇺⚡ #Solar #Bettrification

Interesting balance of responses!
I've been asking for years for a zero-interest loan for solar panels and installation, repayable on your electricity bill, to be the norm for installing solar panels. That would be such a win if Greens pushed it through

5.000W & 30kWh am #Schuko-Stecker?! #Ankers neues #Solar-Monster
Die neue Anker Solix #Solarbank_4_E5000__Pro sprengt mit bis zu 30 kWh Speicher und 5.000W Leistung alle Grenzen. Ist das noch ein Balkonkraftwerk oder schon eine Heimanlage? Ich decke versteckte Features zur 2.500W-Einspeisung auf und zeige euch, warum das Versprechen beim 10ms-Notstrom einen gewaltigen Haken hat!

#SoftBank should use Off-shore 🌊 Solar 🌞 Energy!
Deploy barges with solar panels in the Ocean, in international waters.
These solar farms can be moved according to weather conditions.
They charge batteries which are brought ashore periodically.
A minimal crew is needed for maintenance of these solar farms, and to haul batteries back and forth.
This is a very efficient source of clean energy.
