Battery technology and maybe batteries themselves to be limited in exports. Though one interview says it is a paperwork process to get licenses to export, how ever others have suggested these limit could be strategically implemented to affect drone warfare.

In A Contest Between Solar & Ethanol, There Is One Clear Winner - CleanTechnica
The attacks on solar are inspired by ignorance and greed, not reality. Solar plus storage is the future; coal is the past.

Trump bizarrely claims "We have the best economy we've ever had," despite back-to-back months of massive job losses andin groceries, utilities, and much more. I think you are right; he needs a major distraction and power grab because he isn't winning.

Grid planners and experts on why markets keep choosing renewables
Thinking of resources as either intermittent or backup oversimplifies the complexity of the grid, they said.

When renewable energy is paired with large batteries or other forms of grid management, it's proven to be reliable.

The idea that solar and wind are inherently risky and unreliable is a common talking point for critics of renewable energy, often repeated by groups with ties to the fossil fuel industry. It's false.

After Spain's blackout, critics blamed renewable energy. It's part of a bigger attack
When millions lost power in Spain and Portugal this spring, some were quick to blame too much solar and wind power. That wasn't the cause, but the misinformation had an impact.
