One of the missions in Ace Combat 4 is to attack a solar panel installation as solar power allows the Erusians to operate their industrial base without energy imports.

crazy they were ahead of the curve. Haven't played it, but I heard it has good world building.

oil never made strategic sense to me, like oh yeah you want to make your prosperity dependent on hostile foreign powers? great idea

yeah it's cheap and energy dense, but we could have invested in alternative technologies way earlier. spending billions to trillions on useless crap instead.
