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”
