US citizens: call on your congresscritter and senators to put a windfall profits tax on fossil fuels, and spend the money building renewable generation. To do this, you can use this campaign and modify the text to add that suggestion for spending. I did this because my congresscritter and senators are notably progressive. If yours are Republicans, it might be better strategy to in your case to support campaign's own suggestion -- to use the tax money as a rebate to ease Americans' immediate suffering. See the instructions for how to sign this letter campaign without running any nonfree JavaScript code--not trivial, but not hard. US citizens: Join with this campaign to address this issue. To phone your congresscritter about this, the main switchboard is +1-202-224-3121. Please spread the word.
