Tesla Motors ought to call this old codger to call his bluff. That particular battery already exists and is offered by Tesla.

At least McCain offers something concrete and tangible. Obama has yet to present us with clear, specific plans on how he would deal with the problems given to us by Bush and his henchmen. Where is Obama’s plan to resolve our energy problems? Where is his plan to deal with the economy? All I keep hearing is how this guy is defending himself. That’s not evidence of leadership. When Marjory Ross and company release their book, the Democrats may need to find another candidate, one who offers more than a vague notion of change. I know the media supports McCain, and thus he has a distinct edge, but Obama had better start noticing what’s going on in the U.S. and to respond with clarity and precision.

McCain’s proposal to award a prize of $300,000 is certainly generous of him and his wife. Without knowing it, he is right about the need for improved batteries, but not for cars, for the storage of solar power. John is willing to put some of hiw own personal money into the pot - good for him. He is a good example for his Enron friends.

However, all the Administration and Congress have to do to deal properly with the is make it a real priority, not just a rhetorical one. Empty plan!
