The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil

"The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil" illustrates how Cuba responded to a severe energy crisis after the Soviet Union's collapse cut off fuel and oil supplies in the early 1990s. Facing energy shortages, Cubans collectively adapted by urban agriculture, community-based transportation, and local resourcefulness, reducing dependence on imported fuel. This collective effort fostered resilience, creativity, and social cohesion, demonstrating that strong community action can effectively navigate resource downturns and sustain a society under challenging circumstances.
