Barack Obama calls for clean-energy push

Barack Obama calls for clean-energy push

US President Barack Obama has called on his party and supporters to back a "new future" of clean energy.

Visiting areas affected by the BP oil spill, he said the full resources of government were being deployed, with 17,500 National Guard troops available...

Mr Obama promised Americans living on the Gulf of Mexico that their beaches would be restored to pristine condition, vowing that he would bring full force to bear on BP to pay for the damage from oil pollution.

5. I thought the article was right on the money

The notion that BP is going to be able to effectively handle the crisis, outside of the technical issues around the leaking well, was obviously wrong a pretty long time ago. Obama simply pointing the finger at BP is seen a poor leadership by many.
