| I don't think that an x-prize style of competition is what we need in the energy sector. But, they have certainly been proposed (there were signs around campus here all last month about a new energy x-prize-like design competition). However, I will say that McCain is spot-on with regard to his analysis of the corn ethanol subsidy situation (and how it relates to other sources, such as sugarcane). | |
