More quotes by Ken Salazar
Hydraulic fracking is very much a necessary part of the future of natural gas.
Ken Salazar
While it is important to maintain a balanced approach to solving our nation's energy problems, we must commit ourselves to recognize some areas as 'off limits,' and the Artic National Wildlife Reserve is a national symbol of that commitment.
Ken Salazar
It's a new day at the Department of Interior, and we need to examine what makes the most sense for the American people. These are American resources and American treasures, and we need to make sure we're providing the right kind of protection, oversight and stewardship of these resources for the American people.
Ken Salazar
President Obama and our all-of-the-above energy strategy is the real deal. We are proud of the fact that we are importing less oil than at any time in modern history, and it has been because of the president's vision and courage.
Ken Salazar
People who are running for office mislead the American people by saying that there's a three-point plan or a bumper sticker kind of way of bringing down gasoline prices. The fact of the matter is that nobody can do that. The price of oil is set on the global economy. People who have looked at this closely and hard know that's the case.
Ken Salazar
Americans pay up to 1,000 percent more to fill their prescriptions than consumers in other countries - that is an alarming statistic.
Ken Salazar
Meth is a major problem not only in our urban areas, but in most of the rural areas of Colorado. No region has been immune from this scourge and it is getting larger.
Ken Salazar
Liability does apply with respect to the amount of the oil spill.
Ken Salazar
Nothing in life and nothing that we do is risk-free.
Ken Salazar
I'm proud that Colorado delivered a victory to Barack Obama in 2008 and we will do so again in 2012.
Ken Salazar
My family has spent 400 years farming on the banks of the Rio Grande. We know the value of hard work, love of the community, love for water and land.
Ken Salazar
In my time in the U.S. Senate, I tried to craft an energy policy... I will be part of President Obama's efforts to achieve energy independence and enhance the landscape. I am also part of his reform agenda.
Ken Salazar
We are talking about institutionalizing a program on solar development that will outlast the Obama administration.
Ken Salazar
Barack Obama was not born into wealth or privilege, yet today his is president of these United States of America. Barack Obama has lived the American Dream. He has walked in our shoes.
Ken Salazar
I don't believe that the American dream should be reserved for those who are born into the elite or somehow have been given an advantage over others. My growing-up experience is probably the most important thing that guides my priorities and my work today.
Ken Salazar
Our country has suffered from an on-again, off-again energy policy that has failed to get us to energy independence. As President Obama has said, we need a comprehensive energy plan for the country that includes conventional resources like oil and gas, but that also takes advantage of wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and other renewable resources.
Ken Salazar
Too often in Washington special interests urge us to fight one another just because we belong to different parties. It is time for this to stop and for Washington to focus on what needs to be done.
Ken Salazar
I would say to everybody that hydraulic fracking is safe.
Ken Salazar
I don't think anyone can speculate what will happen with respect to oil prices and gas prices because they are set on the global economy.
Ken Salazar
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is one of my personal heroes.
