McCain’s Mega Millions competition
June 23rd, 2008 at 05:53pm Chuck Sweeny
I thought John McCain had a good idea today when he proposed a $300 million prize — a dollar for every American — for the person who develops a better battery to power future cars. Of course, everybody in the media laughed, but it kind of makes sense.
Motivation is key to every invention, and what inventor worth his salt wouldn’t look at that pot of money and say, Yes, I can. Oops, wrong campaign. Anyway, what do you think of McCain’s idea?

This idea seems a little “flakey” as do all these ideas for bounties and huge cash prizes.
But remember Chuck it was John McCain in 2000 who refused to pander to the Iowa corn farmers and the ethanol lobby. When all the other GOP candidates were pandering at the Iowa Straw Poll, John McCain had the honesty and the courage to basically say that ethanol is NOT a proven solution to our energy needs.
