Just more Democrat money laundering.
“You come up with some phony product that’s supposed to help the environment. You charge the government 100 times what it’s worth. We’ll pay for it with money from Republican taxpayers. You then donate some of that money to the Democrat Party. That way, we make the Republicans pay to make you and me rich and fund the Democrat Party. It’s the greatest scam ever.”
Bingo! I betcha someone’s brother in law is on the receiving end of this cash flow with a large percentage kicked back to the instigator / regulator.
