For anyone who wants to know how they can help with this, personally: Citizens' Climate Lobby is a nonpartisan group that is trying to get a revenue-neutral carbon fee and dividend (The Energy Innovation and Carbon Dividend Act, H.R. 763) through Congress. https://citizensclimatelobby.org/ CCL promotes a measured approach, focused on this single task -- it's not about protesting or venting frustration. I personally think it's the most effective way to make a real difference.

And H.R. 763 has strong support of both climate scientists and economists as an effective way to reduce our emissions and mitigate climate change.

I'd suggest to first fix the accounting. So you introduce a tax which is exactly nulled by a subsidy. This is much easier to get through Congress. Once you have the accounting in place, you can start pushing to lower the subsidies.
