                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 5, 2008

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Colorado 
Energy Science Center for being the recipient of the 2008 Golden Rotary 
Ethics in Business Award.
   The Colorado Energy Science Center was ``spun off'' from the 
National Renewable Energy Laboratory to provide an independent 
institution that could serve the community with objective advice on 
energy efficiency and renewable energy applications. The Colorado 
Energy Science Center has fulfilled this ambition through several 
hundred consumer workshops, dozens of educational classes in public 
schools and a widely distributed free magazine. Most services to the 
consumer and community are free of charge.
   The Colorado Energy Science Center is broadening services through 
training programs for home builders to assure energy efficiency of new 
and remodeled houses.
   To provide advice of such importance, frequently involving the 
potential of substantial investment, requires competent, unbiased, well 
informed, responsible and reliable information of the highest 
integrity. These are the principles that guide the activities of the 
Colorado Energy Science Center and staff.
   My deepest congratulations to the Colorado Energy Science Center for 
your fine work.

                          ____________________
