Yes, as Bordoff and Houser 2015 detailed, the ban on crude exports had been put in place in the 1970s for reasons that no longer applied. Hence, it could then be used as a pragmatic bargaining chip to gain extension of renewable tax credits...a deal which I'm not sure looks quite as bad as you say.

The overarching takeaway of the Hormuz crisis “is more a warning than a lesson,” write Jason Bordoff and Meghan O’Sullivan. “The complacency that has developed around the huge disruption of oil flows in the last five months should not be carried into the months ahead.”

Bordoff's insights helped me to better appreciate the scale of oil dependency and that National security is more likely to aid the transition to renewables.

Jason Bordoff & Brian Deese w an excellent rebuttal to claims that access to critical minerals is somehow a major barrier to the transition. Their focus is innovation, but also note how critical minerals are different from oil in allowing long-term policy planning. foreignpolicy.com/2023/10/04/e...

After the U.A.E. withdrew from OPEC, the White House said that President Trump had broken the intergovernmental cartel. But “over time, a weaker OPEC may mean not lower prices but greater volatility — more violent swings that households and businesses will struggle to absorb,” Jason Bordoff writes.
