Want to win $300 million? Here’s how…

Jun 23, 2008 Technology

GOP Presidential hopeful John McCain has proposed offering a $300 million prize for anyone who can develop a car battery that is more powerful, more efficient, and less expensive than the ones currently used in hybrid vehicles:

“I further propose we inspire the ingenuity and resolve of the American people by offering a $300 million prize for the development of a battery package that has the size, capacity, cost and power to leapfrog the commercially available plug-in hybrids or electric cars. That’s one dollar, one dollar, for every man, woman and child in the U.S. That’s a small price to pay for helping to break the back of our oil dependency, and should deliver a power source at 30 percent of the current costs.”

Well, there you have it. All you need to do to take home a whopping $300 million is put on your thinking cap and come up with a better car battery. Just think, this is your chance to move onto “Easy Street” and help the nation break its dependence on foreign oil at the same time! But first, you’ll need to do your part to make sure Mr. McCain wins the election in November…
