What can we learn from Cuba? @eric_gettig does a great job of unpacking Cuba's energy politics in this review of @GCederlof for @NACLA https://t.co/ySYJ4Zf7tA
In this review of @GCederlof’s book for @NACLA I agree with Gustav that we can learn a lot about energy justice and energy transition by considering Cubans’ experiences. Congratulations to the author and @ucpress for the book and thank you NACLA for the chance to engage with it.
