This is a 18th century view. Modern states since the 19th century operate on the comparative advantage idea. e.G. Germany imports nearly 100% of electronics (toys, tools) it is using. Countries do not need to produce everything they need, they can import from other countries. This is not how energy works, especially not renewable energy. When it's sunny in Germany, neighbouring countries will also be producing and trying to export solar energy at the same time.
