McCain offers $300 million for new auto battery
Made Popular Jun 23 2008
Sen. John McCain hopes to solve the country’s energy crisis with cold hard cash.
The Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting thinks the government should offer a $300 million prize to the person who can develop an automobile battery that leapfrogs existing technology.
The prize would equate to $1 for every man, woman and child in the country.
In a speech being delivered Monday at Fresno State University in California, McCain is also proposing stiffer fines for automakers who skirt existing fuel-efficiency standards and incentives to increase use of domestic and foreign ethanol.

I will gladly take that as direct deposit President Elect McCain!
Mealer Companies will turn around and put that into developing a better green energy device for the masses that we will give away at cost. We’re almost there on that one too.
McCain’s 3R plan will put so many people back to work, even the democrats will jump ship! I hear Obama Girl has already jumped to McCain’s side.
