DENVER—U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn says he was unaware when he signed onto a letter to cut money for renewable energy that he was also targeting the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden.
Lamborn said he was asking that funds be pulled from the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy grants and it was not intended as an attack on the lab that employs 2,300 workers.
About 90 percent of NREL’s funds come from those grants.
Lamborn tells the Denver Post that the lab needs to tighten its belt and not try to pick winners in the race to develop renewable energy.
