Ideally it would be $20 a gallon and the related taxes would go into replacing the outdated fossil fuel infrastructure

  You do realize that a. People still need to commute b. higher gas price means higher prices of everything, due to transportation costs? Ideally, there would be 0% tax on gas, since it is one of the most essential things in the economy.

    Ground transportation is easy to electrify.

    People need to commute less if we generalize remote work for office workers, car-pooling, etc. Transportation costs are less dependent on gas prices if we build better exchange points between truck freight and train freight. Infrastructure is dependent on gas because we let gas be cheap. If we seriously want to curtail climate change, we need to rip the band-aid off.
