What Happened?

The power grid in Cuba collapsed yesterday, knocking out power to over ten million people as electricity went out across the entire island. Cuba’s grid operator said limited amounts of electricity were still being provided to critical services, including hospitals, but for the remainder of the Cuban public there was no electricity on Monday.

Cuban officials have not yet publicly indicated what they believe was the cause of the nationwide blackout. Before the national power failure, at least two-thirds of Cubans were already either without power or experiencing daily power disruptions due to the oil embargo being imposed on Cuba by the United States.

Why it Matters

The nationwide blackout indicates the severity of the infrastructure problems currently facing Cuba. With limited fuel supplies and demand increasing due to summer heat, the nation’s power grid may have simply reached its breaking point. The possibility of intentional sabotage cannot be ruled out, but no evidence has been made public to suggest the power grid’s failure was the result of intentional acts. The fuel shortage has hampered transportation, government, and everyday life in Cuba…

How Texas Will Become a Lithium Powerhouse

Texas just made history. EnergyX commissioned the largest lithium production demo facility of its kind in the state, and they're just getting started.

America needs 5X more lithium by 2040. But supply deficits are already forming, with Morgan Stanley projecting an 80K-ton shortage this year alone. So oil giants like Exxon and Chevron have been buying up land in Texas, America’s emerging lithium hotspot.

EnergyX's patented technology produces up to 3X more lithium than conventional methods at 500X the speed. Not only that, they have rights to nearly 50,000 acres of lithium-rich Texas land with 3M+ untapped tons, part of a global portfolio with up to 15M+ tons.

This isn't a concept. The facility is live, producing lithium today. General Motors, POSCO, Eni, and 50,000+ investors have already backed them.*

Beginning in late 2025, the Trump Administration cut off fuel shipments from Venezuela to Cuba as part of an effort to oust then Venezuelan President Maduro. Maduro was later captured by the U.S. military, but the embargo on oil from Venezuela to Cuba has remained in place because the Trump administration also wants to topple the current regime in Cuba. Russia has delivered limited fuel shipments to Cuba, but overall, most of the people on the island have not had normal electrical power for months.

While the Trump Administration appears to be hopeful that power disruptions will lead the Cuban people to revolt against the current regime, many people in Cuba have indicated they are simply exhausted by the combination of constant summer heat and a lack of electrical power. The ruling regime is unpopular in Cuba, but for the moment at least, there does not appear to be any efforts to overthrow the regime from within.

Cuba’s regime is notoriously corrupt, and its close relations with Venezuela appeared to be the final straw that persuaded the Trump Administration to try to seek regime change without direct military force. The use of direct military force in Cuba by the U.S. appears unlikely, in part due to the historical legacy of the failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion under the Kennedy Administration in 1961. That effort to lead an uprising against the Castro regime was an embarrassment for the U.S. that helped keep Fidel Castro in power for decades.

How it Affects You

Though Cuba poses little direct threat to the United States in military terms, its regime has been credibly accused of helping drug traffickers flood the U.S. with illegal narcotics. Cuban officials are currently working on restoring power, but with limited resources those efforts may take much longer than they would under optimum conditions. The power outage has likely increased the pressure on the ruling regime in Cuba, but thus far, it has stubbornly clung to power.
