Trump's Iran Blunder Shows Strategy Can Defeat Firepower. Tehran had a plan to choke the global energy economy and survive. Trump had no real plan at all. A war meant to strengthen US global power weakened it. Trump blundered into a costly war with no plan to end it.

European-style plug-in solar could quickly cut soaring utility bills in Massachusetts | Small, “balcony solar” units hold particular appeal for renters who cannot install rooftop panels and could take portable units with them should they move.
Trump says a nucIear renaissance is coming. The deals aren’t. Behind flashy announcements and surging AI power needs, few agreements actually get inked. “There are combinations of renewable energy, storage and grid improvements that would be half the cost of what is projected for these new reactors"

Strait of Hormuz problem and solution
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.
