The Bad Taste of Castro Oil
J. Neil Schulman told me that Fox News Channel aired a report about a Cuban refinery for Venezuelan oil. Here’s the Havana take on it.
An older report from another Cuban source says:
The Cienfuegos oil refinery, a new joint Cuba- Venezuela project, reached 112.9 percent its target production for the first two months of operation.
That’s an echo from the Soviet days about overproduction in the latest five year plan.
The urban gardening that goes on in Cuba is admirable and we should all wish to have the same level of activity in every country. But, with this Venezuelan oil fueling Cuba’s revived export agriculture and new petroleum products exported above Cuba’s 120,000 barrels per day consumption, maybe we’ll hear a little less about how Cuba is such a sustainable green utopia.
