Another Proposal From John McCain

In a fantastic show of capitalism at its best, Sen. John McCain has proposed a partial solution to our oil dependancy. He has suggested a prize of $300 million for anyone who can create a more efficient car battery that blasts current technology out of the water. On the individual level, sum is massive, but compared to the rest of the U.S. budget, it would be a relatively small sum. I think this is a brilliant idea. We need solutions, and what motivates people more than cold, hard cash? This proposal would grant the cas prize to anyone who could invent an automobile battery that would deliver power at only 30% of current costs.

This is just another example of McCain proactively proposing solutions to our energy crisis and our bleak economic situation. McCain has also recently proposed lifting bans on offshore drilling. Obama has strongly opposed both of these moves. And what does he plan on doing? Is he just opposing McCain because he's running against him, or is he actually that misinformed?
