    Ending oil subsidies would most likely lead to some short-term price hikes. To mitigate you could use targeted support for low-income households but that’s “giving money to the poor” and unlikely to happen seeing our current situation.

    There is also a question of all the jobs in the industry. Sure many people would find jobs in renewables but overall it’s a complex problem.

    Another thing to mind is the potential geopolitical shifts this will bring.
