Episode Details

Cuba’s sixth island-wide blackout this year plunged much of the country into darkness, with power restored only in parts of Havana—highlighting a worsening energy crisis fueled by U.S. sanctions that cut off oil and threatened tariffs on Cuban fuel suppliers. With aging infrastructure already strained, residents endure brutal rolling blackouts lasting over 20 hours daily, turning basic tasks like getting gas or groceries into all-day marathons.
