The U.S. spent $11B in the first week of the Iran War and have spent many times that in weeks since, dwarfing the subsidy China has given solar panels.
This war is all about oil and is another example of how our entire society is effectively built around enormous subsidies for fossil fuels.

The $18 billion spent on subsidies for solar manufacturing by China since 2000 is half of what the US has spent on subsidies for oil every year since 2000.
There is no starker illustration of how badly US industrial & energy policy has been bungled.
