So...let all the oil subsidies go away (as the clean energy subsidies are going away), and compete on a level playing field. Gas is only cheap because government subsidizes it (as I recall, in numerous ways). Let the true price of fuel show itself, and see where things fall. I've read estimates between $5 and $10 per gallon, depending on whether you include military expenses in securing the supply chain.
This is exactly what I'm talking about. Do you not see the irony here? The OP is about how working class voters don't trust Democrats on the economy, because they think Democrats care more about fighting climate change than workers' economic well-being. Yet this response is a suggestion that would impose incredibly burdensome costs on working class voters (double the price of gas!) because that would fight climate change.
I don't think working class voters want the price of gas to double. I'm pretty sure they absolutely don't want elected officials who think that having the price of gas double is ever a good idea.
