What can Congress do about the looming climate disaster caused by fossil fuel combustion?

 Why is there no fossil fuel tax (on oil, coal, and gas)? Why are the fossil fuel companies still getting tax breaks but solar, wind, and other non-polluting energy sources do not? Why is there not a "luxury tax" on new vehicles that are not electric? Why are the tax incentives for electric vehicles not higher, using "luxury tax" and fossil fuel tax to pay for them? Why is solar plus battery not more emphasized as a way to avoid PG&E power outages? Why is packaging that uses fossil resources not legislated out and taxed?
