A ‘deal’ struck between the White House and the EPA?
The executive branch of the federal government RUNS the EPA? Why would they need to strike a ‘deal’ about anything?
The EPA specifies the types and levels of "pollutant" that must be addressed based on the Obama folks knowing who can manufacture/supply the equipment. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that the specifications for the equipment will result in purchases being made only from Democrat owned companies. I'll go even further to suggest that those companies have, and will contribute to the Obama campaign.
