The premise was that the oil in the Mideast goes mostly to China. The PTB are using TSF to attack China by denying oil.

What the article didn't mention is that China added more renewables in a year than the US has in total.

Whatever happens will not be comfortable for us. But a different article I saw suggests that TSF is doing more for renewable energy than anyone has previously been able. That may be our silver lining to this cloud.
