If the US needs all oil sales to be in USD, and they will start wars to ensure this, why are politicians so keen to promote green energy?
A theory:
The only viable green energy is nuclear and that has been blocked. Wind and solar isn't able to truly replace oil for most uses, but it gives an excuse to use green policy to threaten and control domestic oil production - this ensures that there is still sufficient US demand for oil which helps maintain USD settlement for it.
Perhaps this is why the EU is so rabid about green energy, and why China subsidises production of solar/wind even if they don't use it much themselves.
