BP executive to appear live on YouTube to answer oil spill questions tomorrow

The largest oil spill in the history of the United States is taking place right now in the Gulf of Mexico, and there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. Tomorrow, July 1 at 3:30pm EST (12:30pm PT) on CitizenTube, BP Chief Executive Bob Dudley will participate in a live interview moderated by PBS NewsHour's Ray Suarez where users submit the questions.

Right now, there are about 40 user-submitted questions posted for the interview, under the categories: BP accountability, Relief well status, cleanup plan, Gulf Region Recovery, Government Role, Environmental Impact, Future of BP, Future of Offshore Drilling, and "Other." Anyone can submit a question under one of these categories, in the form of a simple text-based message in Google Moderator, or as a YouTube video.

When a similar event was held on June 15 with White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, more than 7,000 questions were submitted, which were voted on more than 200,000 times by users.
