Interesting read, altho I admit I agree more with Salazar. A ‘texas oil consultant’ doesn’t exactly hit my trustworthy buttons.

Salazar is a lawyer and former Senator of Colorado:

In 2005, Salazar 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.

Frankly, I was glad to see him leave the Senate representing my state.
