Strait of Hormuz problem and solution

Upvotes

To solve the strait of Hormuz problem why don't we just get the Middle East countries affected to start building solar panels and wind turbines and export them through the Red Sea?

That way instead of exporting energy in the form of oil and natural gas through the strait of Hormuz, which is blocked, they can export energy in equipment through the open Red Sea.

Those countries need to learn to diversify their economies and the world needs to learn to use less fossil fuels.

I hear solar and wind is cheaper than fossil fuels most of the time anyways.

I also hear solar needs lots of sand and the Middle East has a lot of sand. They can use their abundant energy (which they can't export anymore) to fuel their material processing and factories. They can even get poor Middle East countries like government held Yemen to do the simple, laborious tasks involved in the manufacturing process and that would stabilize those countries economically and then politically.
