    What a great incentive to move off oil and towards literally any other energy source that doesn't rely on the US/Israel not starting dumb wars in the middle east, too bad no one had any other reason at all to stop relying so much on oil half a century ago. It would've been completely doable with decades of runway, but oh well, shutting down entire industries in a last minute panic it is.

    I'm a Brit that immigrated to Australia over 30 years ago. Heck I might have to go back.

    Too complicated and will piss people off. The real answer is to have the cost absorbed by the energy companies first until they run out of profits. THEN we can look at it hitting people directly.

    Alternatively have you considered letting energy companies offset the price entierly to the consumer and then also giving them a tax rebate once the crisis is over to account for the increase in costs that they didn't even pay themselves?
