McCain Proposes a $300 Million Dollar Prize for Advanced Auto Battery

McCain is trying to propose a way to solve the countries energy crisis with cash. I think that McCain has a good idea becuase he feels that our country should try to use alternative sources. According to McCain, we need a device that has 30% the current cost, size and power to leapfrog the plug-in hybrids and electric cars that are available now. I just don't understand how we let this problem get to be so bad to were gas is approximately $4 a gallon. I think its about time that we try to find problems to fix this because at this rate its only getting worse. I think its a good idea that McCain is willing to take chances on trying to make a coversion of American vehicles. I think that if we don't figure out ways to sovle this problem then we could end up in a depression just like the 1930s or we could end up in a stagflation like the 1970s. But whatever it takes I believe that something needs to be done by the government and by the people of the United States of America. I think that not only one person can fix the problem, its going to take a lot more because of the amount of oil that we use everyday. We will one day look back on this and say we should have done this and if thats the case we need to think of all the ways possible to fix this so later down the road we can say we did everything we could.
