Next, I would love to see the U.S. government offer a bounty(for lack of a better word)for development of an electric car with a range of 320 to 400 miles on a single charge of the battery. I envision the establishment of BATEX ( for battery exchange) stations; where for a $15.00 charge, you would be able to drop off your battery in exchange for a new fully charged one. Just think, no more $50.00 fillups! No more having to work a second job just to pay for gasoline! Politically; no more having to treat with countries with adverse views on government than our own simply because they possess the 'black gold'
The "bounty" I speak of should be substantial; as it will spur on and challenge the best minds in the world to now put their brainpower to good instead of bad. Humanity can once again be within our reach, people. Let me know what you think !
