McCain proposes $300M prize for new auto battery

It makes a good headline, but I'm not sure it's effective. There are at least a dozen companies working feverishly on new battery technology and the "prize" for winning is a lot more than $300 million.


Yes, the real prize is the patent. Why would he offer that much money for something everyone is desperately working on.......use that much money for something that is more speculative or more theoretical right now.
