President Barack Obama, in a trip designed to highlight green jobs and the urgent need for clean energy as oil gushes in the Gulf of Mexico, toured solar manufacturer Solyndra Wednesday morning and then addressed a select crowd of 250 people at the Fremont company’s new factory.
The visit, Obama’s second to the Bay Area since becoming president, shone a spotlight on Solyndra, a Silicon Valley company that has tried to avoid publicity as it prepares for its initial public offering of stock.
Obama praised the entrepreneurial spirit of California and said Solyndra is a company “leading the way toward a brighter and more prosperous future.”
