Why am I not surprised when the transnational progressives at the UN gush about how communist Cuba solves problems in an exemplary manner?
UN official: Cuba has solved its energy crisis without sacrificing its environment
HAVANA: Cuba has solved crippling energy shortages that plagued the island as recently as 2004 without sacrificing a long-term commitment to promoting environmentally friendly fuels, the head of the U.N. Environment Program said Wednesday. ~iht.com
It’s as if the UN were filled with neo-marxists and utopian socialists or something. Oh, yeah, wait a minute…
If only we, the spiteful and evil empire, could mobilize our government to solve the environmental crisis that threatens to kill us all in the same way as Castro did.
At a news conference, Steiner said “Cuba can look proudly at having solved a short-term crisis with a long-term commitment toward cleaner energy.” He said his organization wanted to “put a spotlight on Cuba’s efforts.” ~iht.com
The communist system works so well that we should all join! Government is good. Capitalism is bad. Corporations don’t care about people, socialist governments do.
Just three years ago, the country was hit by blackouts that wounded the economy while enraging a population suffering through the merciless summer months without air conditioning, fans or any way to refrigerate food.
The government’s response was a sweeping “energy revolution” that included an overall of the antiquated electrical grid, as well conservation drives.
Fidel Castro appeared on television nearly daily to explain improvements in excruciating detail and government workers went door to door in many neighborhoods, replacing incandescent light bulbs with more-efficient alternatives. ~iht.com
Cuban praise:
The US should follow Cuba’s example. First we outlaw private property. Then we should invest in horses and buggies. That will reduce our need for oil. Our remaining oil needs could then be supplied by Venezuela which will do for us what it does for Cuba, supply free oil. It’s a viable plan. No? Don’t agree? It’s off to the firing squad with you.
