The idea that government is needed to "stimulate" development of this technology or that is silly. I have no objection to McCain's $300 Million offer, as it may entice some excellent minds to focus on the problem that otherwise wouldn't. Where the market failed us is letting us fall into the oil trap. That's part of the imperfection of 'markets and capitalism'. Here we are in the middle of an economic crisis because for 30 years we allowed 'the markets' to dictate what we should do instead of what good planning demanded we do. Countries like Brazil planned for this day and are in good shape. Countries like the US are fukked. The market is good for some things but not all things.
