Where is our car?

Since our government has spent billions of dollars on alternative fuel research, I would like to know where our gasoline-free automobile is.

Could it be stored in Area 51 so the Russians won't find out? I know, I'll bet it's in Wright Patterson AFB along with the three dead aliens from Roswell. Or maybe Carmen Sandiego has it, but "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?"

I find it very amusing to see every politician trying to come up with a solution. A $300,000 prize for coming up with a battery-powered car that is economical? Start drilling for more oil offshore? Use mass transportation or car pool? Give me a break!

Where were they a year ago, or five or 10 years ago? Let's face it. Our government has dropped the ball, but you won't hear them admit it.

There is only one solution. Offer a $1 million prize to anyone who can find our gasoline-free car!
