Please send them solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries. Not fossil fuels!

Unfortunately aircraft still run on fossil fuels, which is a big part of getting goods into the country.

Also ships, but I’m not sure if the blockade is effectively stopping everything, or just oil tankers.

In a somewhat sick kind of way, would be kinda cool if they start use sailing yachts for local trade since they don’t have any fuel.

Ships have run on wind for a lot longer than humans have discovered how to make internal combustion engines…

… which I did mention… but there aren’t a whole lot of sail based cargo ships around anymore.

Longer term yeah, moving away from petroleum is obviously the move. But they need stuff now. And again, air travel is a huge problem right now. It’s hard to send aid there when the planes cant refuel. Not impossible, just more of a logistical problem.

People literally paddled between Florida and Cuba. Crocodiles migrate between the two. They’re very close.
