Millions of Cubans are currently facing a dire energy crisis, with a recent large-scale blackout plunging the western part of the country into darkness. This crisis is a stark reminder of the ongoing impact of US sanctions on Cuba's energy sector, which has been struggling with dwindling oil supplies. But here's where it gets controversial: while some businesses and residents have adapted by installing solar panels or using backup generators, the Cuban government has taken a defiant stance, refusing to negotiate with the US over a new energy agreement. This has left many Cubans wondering what the future holds for their energy supply, and whether the government's stance will only exacerbate the current crisis.
