Growing up on his family's ranch in the San Luis Valley, Senator Salazar has a deep appreciation for Colorado's natural heritage. He understands we must be good stewards of the land and that with a balanced approach we can make use of our resources without destroying the natural beauty around us. He has made sure that the federal government keeps its promise to protect our land and water and is working to find ways to reduce our dependence on foreign oil through sensible exploration and drilling, increased innovation and investment in renewable energy.
