#2 Cuba seems to be dead in the path of every hurricane I can remember, I'll bet the Cuban Embassy has a huge generator (I would have three, for backup and maintenance) with lots of diesel stored to run it.

Also I remember a few weeks back Cuba stating that they were having a power shortage and were going to have to start rolling blackouts.

#3 Those generators will use twice as much fuel (and more expensive gasoline and diesel) than large thermal power plants. Socialist planning at its best.
