Reducing access to energy sources, such as fossil fuels or nuclear power will help them accomplish both goals.
A large and prosperous middle-class is too difficult for them to control. That prosperity is based on low-cost energy sources. Hence the attacks on all energy sources.
"Renewable" energy sources, like solar and wind power, are bait-and-switch distractions which cannot sustain the current level of prosperity. They are too unreliable and too expensive to produce in quantities required.
A hereditary aristocracy, ruling with absolute power over an impoverished peasantry is the desired end-state.
