About this sermon

In Cuba, people are facing the fourth day of a widespread blackout. Cubans hit the streets while banging pots and pans in protest saying they have no water and their food is going bad. Energy Minister Vicente de la O Levy says he hopes the electricity grid will be restored early this week. However, he highlights concerns over tropical storm Oscar approaching the island and bringing any additional inconvenience. Director of the Latin American Energy Program at Rice University, Francisco Monaldi, joins to share why the power grid keeps collapsing as this is the longest blackout in Cuba since the fall of the Soviet Union. Monaldi tells us whether there is any chance that the power grid will be restored. He discusses how Venezuela factors into Cuba's power crisis. Dr. Monaldi explains whether any countries such as Russia will step in to help. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
