FYI, my understanding is that 90% of the members of the 
House Renewable Energy Caucus voted for the Schaefer-Klug 
amendment passed last week that restored $42 million that the 
House Appropriations Committee had cut from renewable energy 
research programs.  So this approach to building support appears 
to be very effective.
