Oil Spill Panel: White House Blocked Federal Scientists From Releasing Worst-Case Scenario For Gulf Disaster

Wednesday, October 6, 2010


Salazar put 53 million offshore acres up for lease in the Gulf in his first year alone. An all time high. http://www .rollingst one.com/po litics/new s/17390/11 1965?RS_sh ow_page=0

Salazar helped open up the Gulf for drilling, including the lease bloc that BP drilled, WHEN HE WAS A SENATOR. He's always been for drilling and Obama & Salazar went full speed ahead as soon as they got in office and then they pushed for more offshore drilling.

Do you know that Ken Salazar was a US Senator prior to becoming Obama's Secretary of the Interior? Do you know what his record was as senator? 

As a senator, Salazar voted to end protections that limit offshore oil drilling in Florida's Gulf Coast. http://www .lcv.org/i mages/clie nt/pdfs/LC V_2006_Sco recard_fin al.pdf



He also voted against increasing fuel-efficiency standards (CAFE) for cars and trucks, a vote that the League of Conservation Voters notes is anti-environment. In the same year, Salazar voted against an amendment to repeal tax breaks for ExxonMobil and other major petroleum companies.

Salazar was one of only a handful of Democrats to vote against a bill that would require the United States Army Corps of Engineers to consider global warming when planning water projects. http://www .lcv.org/s corecard/2 007.pdf
