回华盛顿途中奥巴马在加州一工厂热情洋溢的赞扬了太阳能这一新能源。此前，美联社报道，总统重申了BP正努力解决墨西哥湾的石油泄漏事件的严峻事实，称：“无法保证效果“。
参观完弗里蒙特的一家名为Solyndra的太阳能电池厂后，奥巴马总统说：“这一切真的让你看见了制造业的前景，我们将在美国大力发展太阳能事业。”该工厂得到了了联邦扩大化的财政支持。总统还说：“清洁新能源不再只是纸上谈兵，我们可以看到，太阳能就是未来之所在。”
President Obama is enroute back to Washington after giving an enthusiastic plug to solar power at a
California plant. While there, the Associated Press reports, the president reiterated the grim truth about the
attempt BP is making today to plug the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico: "No guarantees that it will work”.
"It really gives you a sense of what the future of manufacturing looks like," he said, as he toured the
Solyndra solar cell plant in Fremont. "We're going to keep on building stuff here in America." The plant is
expanding with the help of federal stimulus dollars.
"What you are proving here all of you, collectively, is that as difficult as it's going to be, as long as it takes,
we will recover," Obama told about 250 workers in the new structure.
"The promise of clean energy isn't an article of faith, not any more," Obama added. "The future is here."
