Presidential hopeful Senator John McCain, if elected, wants to offer a $300 million prize for the invention of a better vehicle battery for plug-in hybrid or all-electric cars. He also wants a $5000 tax credit to those who buy a zero carbon-emission car

Call me a cynic, which I am,
but I'm hearing a Presidential
candidate telling the people what
they want to hear while he's campaigning.
Then, if he gets in the White House
(oh, please, God, no.), it will suddenly
be "Uhhhh, battery prize? WHAT battery prize?!"

Thanks, Mike.

You're not a cynic, you're a realist.
He's my missing-in-action senator. He's done nothing to represent our state for over a year, while he's on tour. After all these years, I still don't know what to make of him.

Where's the 300 million coming from?

Yeah, it'll probably happen Tim. It'll all be forgotten or they'll get a long winded letter thanking them for their contribution to the progress of America and offering them a tax break good for one year only..lol
