Sen. McCain offers $300 million prize for new auto battery

My Way News - Sen. McCain offers $300 million prize for new auto battery

Show me the money!

Quote:
The presumed Republican nominee is proposing a $300 million government prize to whoever can develop an automobile battery that far surpasses existing technology. The bounty would equate to $1 for every man, woman and child in the country, "a small price to pay for helping to break the back of our oil dependency," McCain said in remarks prepared for delivery Monday at Fresno State University in California.

McCain said such a device should deliver power at 30 percent of current costs and have "the size, capacity, cost and power to leapfrog the commercially available plug-in hybrids or electric cars."

The Arizona senator is also proposing stiffer fines for automakers who skirt existing fuel-efficiency standards, as well as incentives to increase use of domestic and foreign alcohol-based fuels such as ethanol.

In addition, a so-called Clean Car Challenge would provide U.S. automakers with a $5,000 tax credit for every zero-carbon emissions car they develop and sell.



Nothing better to encourage green than green.

Maybe his Old Lady can cough up a couple of Mil or provide FREE beer for those who wind up in the "Think Tank"

Where he's going to get the raw materials ??? We ain't got nun, it's ALL under water.
( My heart felt feelings got out to our neighbors and brothers in the Midwest )

You'd better give it to them in advance. They're already on the verge of Bankruptcy.

I don't know what he's smoking, but whatever it is must make PLENTY of Smoke that McBush is trying to blow up the voter's @$$.
