The rhetoric: "'I've worked hard to try to right this wrong, and I want to thank Secretary Bodman and his staff for helping us ensure NREL is able to go forward and fully carry on its mission as our country's premier renewable energy research facility,' Beauprez said."

Then Beauprez refused to join more than 100 representatives in signing a bipartisan letter urging the president to restore funding to NREL."
