Energy Prize Sweepstakes

Simply Left Behind: The Non-Rapturist's Guide To The Galaxy: "I'm guessing the McCain campaign is eavesdropping on my blog..." Gee, I hope Carl's right and McCain (or somebody) is reading the blogs. I remember quite well when good old Actor212 proposed the (soon to become) "McCain Energy Prize." It was a good idea then; it's a good idea now. Obama complained about McCain's position on energy tax credits-- or something.

Prizes for scientific achievements are not new; modern food preservation came about thanks to Napoleon offering a prize to the first person who came up with a way to keep food from spoiling. (He was interested in troops in the field.) [No. You look it up. Use the Google!]
