And by aid, we mean solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries.

Not oil. They don't need oil.

They do in the short term, but I agree that transitioning off oil as fast as possible should be the goal.

Yeah. Lemmy sure does love shoehorning their pet issues in, regardless of how impractical sending wind turbines to Cuba is right now.

What makes you think any or even all of those modalities would meet their energy needs before people start dying?

Energy independence is key to ensuring this never happens again. Maximizing utilization of renewables is key to that on a long ye horizon. But in the short term, they need oil.

They already have enough renewables for hospitals. They don't need oil.
