    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.

    great idea, and i’ll tell you why. up untill now building a clean car involved great monetary loss to thecompany because a battery operated car would last longer and require less or no maintenance, therefore making it financialy beneficial for the first company will create a rat race between the auto makers. vote mccain!
