US Presidential Campaigns Fueling Electric Cars

With Political pressures as high as they get for a cleaner Earth we are finally starting to see the government shelling out huge amounts of cash to get the technology where it needs to be. Senator John McCain announced today that his government plans on having a $300 million prize for better car batteries to power electric vehicles.

We have been talking a lot about intentional flops, failures and how terrible the government has approached the North American electric car scene, but this is definitely a very huge step in the right direction. Everyone knows if there is a car that is made that runs solely on electricity, that it can go for a few hours without recharging, that it’s available at a reasonable price, that those babies will sell and sell a lot.

I am a very negative person, I have even said my share of bad things about democracy as a whole, but I think this is where it really shines and for once it seems the people are driving the government and not the other way around. With this kind of interest put into the market the idea will succeed and I must say very good energy news.
