The rumble of 1959 Chevrolets, once the rhythmic heartbeat of Havana, is fading to the near silence of electric vehicles as the island faces its worst fuel shortage in years.
For six decades, Cuba’s roads changed little, defined by colorful vintage cars. But in recent years, Cubans increasingly adopted electric vehicles as fuel became more scarce. Now, they are helping the population grapple with a worsening fuel crisis, since the U.S. cut off oil exports from the communist-run country’s ally Venezuela and threatened to penalize other countries exporting fuel to the island.
Donald Trump’s administration has declared Cuba “an unusual and extraordinary threat” to U.S. national security.
US policy forcing cuba into a green socialist utopia lol.

Which country isn’t considered a threat to american “national security” at this point
Saudi Arabia, Hungary and uh… Russia. Other adjacent authoritarians.
Hungary
Ah damn it, that’s what I meant. I can’t keep up, it was Eurasia last week. Corrected 😉
It is quite funny that Cuba, a small, relatively poor country that has been embargoed for decades, is considered an unusual and extraordinary threat to American national security, compared to countries with fission weapons.
Do they have antimatter or something?
Any country that doesn’t have stuff that the pedofile class and Israel wants
I want to start seeing electric-converted 1959 Chevrolets.
Sounds cool but the chassis are way to heavy to be viable.
Most of the old V8s had been replaced with Lada 4 cylinders by the 90s.
It wasn’t romantic that they were stuck with 50s cars, then forced to keep them running with Soviet spare parts.
Cuba’s energy supply mainly comes from oil products, accounting for over 80% of power generation.
Our blockade on Cuba makes no sense.
It kind of made sense, for a bit, what with the whole nuclear weapons on the island thing, but it should quickly have stopped. Its entirely bullshit for the last 63 or so years
The thing about renewable energy is that the source is everywhere. Fuck oil.
