Well that's a challenge, but if someone has a great scheme, you would get people to sell it to the big banks or whats called, private equity firms. They loan the cash, for a cut in the profits. So, our idea had better be convincing. Otherwise we get green energy concepts that produce money for the Solyndras who soak up taxes and produce nothing!

We could offer a 20 or 100 billion dollar prize for a new clean energy source and award the winner.  The contestents would have to get bank or private equity funding to accomplish this. We can do the same for medicine and outer space too.

Sounds good to me. How do you persuade the banks etc to put up the prize money?
