MOGA? sounds good, why not.
While the Presidential Medal of Freedom maybe our nation’s highest civilian award, the Medal of Honor is more sacred as it represents the gallantry and intrepidity of courageous and selfless service members, often at the cost of grievous wounds and even their lives. It’s because of our Medal of Honor recipients that great Americans like Miriam Adelson have the freedom to live to their fullest potential and make such lasting contributions to our great nation.

All the EPA did was shut down American production because ot was cheaper to move productions to China then it was to build a cleaner manufacturing plant. We have the technology to capture all the bad particulates but it's expensive to do so. When a company would have to spend hundreds of millions to upgrade a plant or half that to open a factory in China. Which would you choose?
Anytime the government starts trying to pick winners and losers they only make things worse. And they made it so the only option is tariffs on Chinese steal making it cheaper to build here even with cleaner emission standards. But of course this makes anything made with steel more expensive which leads to inflation etc.
Heres the biggest problem the US could go down to zero carbon emissions but countries like China India Pakistan in fact most of 3rd world continue to increase their's making any Gains the west could make disappear. So global warming cannot be resolved by controlling emissions. Are only hope would be an international group like UN sets up carbon capture facilities throughout the globe. Wr have the technology just no money to be made doing it so no one is willing to spend the money
