Yes and no - yes it’s dumb to give up and let china have a defacto monopoly on the future of energy production. But no insofar as sanctions on battery and solar don’t hit the same as oil and other things. Because once you have them, they keep producing for you.

Oil hits hardest. I’m comparing financial sanctions to a battery embargo. Both are slow. Both are powerful.
