| Description | After visiting the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) in Golden, Colo. last week, Michele Bachmann exclaimed, “My colleagues and I literally walked through America's energy future.” The NREL was the first stop on a White House-sponsored junket to Colorado and Alaska for freshman Republican congresspersons only, led by House Minority Leader John Boehner.
“I’ve got to say, the lab is doing absolutely incredible work,” Bachmann gushed on her blog. “They are using cutting-edge methods to use wind, solar, biomass and fuel technologies more efficiently.”
Has Bachmann become a born-again believer in renewable energy? Hardly.
Look behind Bachmann’s photo-ops and you’ll find one of the most deplorable voting records on renewable energy of any member of Congress. The nonpartisan League of Conservation Voters’ scorecard for the 110th Congress, which included several key energy votes, gave Bachmann a 0% rating in 2007.
So what earned Bachmann this failing report card? |
