Part of the problem is that if we do the job right and give people notice and have programs to suppot the change, the hauls of protest would get the project stoped before it ever had a chance to see the light of day.
Politicaly it might be easyer to progresively remove subsidies without notice so that the market/people could adjust.The responce to the howles of protest could be mutted by programs to support better energy efficiancy. Done right it could be done with minimum pain...
