    Solar now meets about 10% of the nation’s power needs, up from 3% at the beginning of last year, the government said.

    That is impressive for under 2 years. Lets hope they can keep that pace up, or accelerate it.

        How long till the seige stops? Or to put it another way, how long until the USA empire collapses enough that it can no longer enforce the embargo?

          Hard to say, but AI bubble popping could be the catalyst. The war on Iran has structurally driven up energy prices globally, and the US bond market is now struggling. The fed will likely be forced to raise the rates next year, and much of the hyperscaler build out hinges on having low rates. On top of that, we’re seeing more and more evidence that AI adoption is not going well, which will also drive demand for new datacenters down. And given how much of the economy is tied into this stuff, there could be a massive crash if this starts to sputter. At that point, Cuba is going to be the last of their worries. The Americans basically stuck their dick in a blender with the war on Iran.
