In oil spill shadow, Obama pledges energy bill push

WASHINGTON, June 2 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama pledged on Wednesday to find support in the U.S. Senate for a bill that overhauls energy policy, using the Gulf of Mexico oil spill to advance his efforts to boost production of renewable fuels.

'The votes may not be there right now, but I intend to find them in the coming months,' Obama said in advance excerpts of a speech he will deliver later in Pittsburgh, referring to a bill that is languishing in the Senate.

'I will make the case for a clean energy future wherever I can, and I will work with anyone from either party to get this done. But we will get this done,' he said in the excerpts.
