2:30 p.m. Updated President Obama delivered a statement on BP and the seabed
oil gusher today, decrying the «ridiculous spectacle» of the three main companies involved in the mess pointing fingers at each other in congressional hearings.
President Obama, who visited a solar - cell manufacturer in California
today in one of his frequent trips focused on clean energy, is scheduled to return to the Gulf Coast on Friday to weigh the damage from dirty energy — in this case, the seabed
gusher — and, hopefully, press the case for a new American relationship to
oil, and energy more generally.
