Well, when even moderate gas price increases lead to either mass protests (e.g. https://apnews.com/article/colombia-protests-fuel-price-hike...) or the election of climate deniers (such as in the US), policy is (unfortunately for the climate) not going to change fast enough.

A 50% gas hike isn't moderate.

But I agree, it's something that'd have to be delicately done. Ideally phased in over time.

I also agree, probably wouldn't be fast enough, just faster to significantly faster than what we are currently doing.
