Hot take: Gas, particularly in USA, should be **much** higher priced, in order to pay for government programs to offset the damage burning it does to the environment and to pay citizens/workers to encourage getting away from burning fossil fuels, while simultaneously ending ALL subsidies and tax-code benefits for fossil fuel companies and providing assistance to any industry workers that are impacted by any downsizing.
