I've installed solar panels and both my cars get 40mpg.  I have voted in favor of SunRail, electric buses, Brightline extensions, and things like that.
I have tried to use social media and forums to promote radical solutions like new nuclear power, carbon tax and tariff, ocean seeding, and aerosol albedo modification. 

As for using oil companies, if states were able to collect damages from tobacco companies, I don't see how collecting damages from oil companies should be any more difficult.  We have internal documents showing that they knew they were warming the atmosphere and that they intentionally funded quacks that would go out and tell us otherwise.  Exactly what the tobacco companies did in the 1960s. 

However, I'm not in favor of using them because that only makes fossil fuels more expensive.  The fight has to be about making alternative energy less expensive, not making gas more expensive.
