I was about to ask OP for a source, but since you're confident that they're incorrect, can you cite your claims too?

News story with a summary but there's plenty of source documents out there if you feel like a deep dive.
- parkingrift 4y agoYou want a source that immediately increasing fuel costs by 40%, as suggested by OP, would be economic suicide? Fortunately, I don’t need a study. Fuel costs rose in the US 40% over the last year before falling. If you want to know what happened in the US, pick up a newspaper and read about record high inflation.
- ZeroGravitas 4y agoWhy did you introduce the idea of it happening immediately, overnight? Did it seem too reasonable a suggestion to phase it in over decades with plenty of advance notice? Too achievable, too simple, too sensible? Not to mention, the "extra cost" would be getting paid to the government in your own country, not to Vladimir Putin or similar in another. And then new business opportunities would be created, again in your own country, to meet this new demand. Luckily, we've actually started doing this already. It seems important that the people who complain about it being impossible seem to have not noticed that it's already started and been quite successful so far, giving confidence to people who are paying attention. If that's the case, how bad can it actually be?
