Nowadays it is very common to hear people’s opinions about blackouts and their causes. Many of the opinions are evil-minded and far-fetched.
In homes, and in any public space, there are volatile expressions that denigrate the behavior of some Contramaestrians, who do not carefully analyze the external and internal panorama that the Cuban nation is going through.
Many people blame the system for the non-availability of full-time electricity; however, they do not look at the effects of the intensified US blockade, which slows down the purchase of fuel, the acquisition of the necessary parts that paralyze the thermoelectric power plant, as well as the health of the national finances.
In the presence of this bombardment of manipulated information, mainly from our own land, which attacks the Cuban socialist model, we suggest to think with logical reasoning, because it is moving to visualize communicative products how workers of the electric sector make an effort to give vitality to our power plants, which cannot be modernized for the time being.
In this regard, it should be noted that Cuba has not been able to obtain the timely and necessary financing for the maintenance of thermoelectric plants; add to this the coincidence of eventual breakdowns caused by the instability that the country has been experiencing for weeks.
In my modest opinion, it is not a matter of looking for excuses to this reality that tarnishes the aptitude of many with dull minds, but to find common solutions that make our lives more bearable.
Therefore, efficient and rational use of electric energy is necessary as a good practice at home, factories, industries and economic centers, in addition to valuing with human sensitivity those men and women who work day and night with family responsibilities to repair breakdowns.
If we do not allow the slightest waste, it would be a minimum collective contribution to the decrease of the demand and consequently to the consumption of electricity, leaving behind the mental blackouts that call into question the lighting that the country needs.
