Show Notes
Havana and western Cuba plunged into darkness due to a massive blackout, caused by a boiler leak at the islands largest thermoelectric plant. Officials expect a 72-hour outage, with power gradually returning to hospitals and key sites. Residents resorted to communal cooking and playing games by lantern light, facing challenges like fuel shortages and concerns for childrens education. This is the second major outage in three months, linked to an aging grid, scarce oil supplies, and U.S. sanctions. Officials are working to stabilize the system.
