Summary

Ron in Pittsburgh calls in with an intriguing idea surrounding wind energy. As the U.S. moves away from wind power, Ron suggests that the shift could create an unexpected opportunity for Cuba, potentially benefiting the island nation as the global energy landscape continues to evolve. Paul in White Plains calls in to raise an important question: if the U.S. agrees to pay Iran a fee for ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, does that amount to legitimizing or emboldening the Iranian regime? Paul wonders whether such a payment could be perceived as a form of international validation for Iran.
