For instance, RideSearch.com is innovative and it helps people save money by carpooling. There will always people who try to solve the world's problems, and gas is right now on the top of everyone's minds.
I am willing to bet the cost it takes to build such a car would offset the cost of the prize. The problem with all new car ideas is the amount of resources it takes to develop a new concept. In the meantime our atmosphere and fossil fuels will get worse and worse. What we should do is start sharing our existing resources. For cars that means we should carpool. You save gas, save money and save the environment. I use:
http://www.ridesearch.com/RideSearch.com to find someone to carpool with.
That can happen right away and it doesn't require millions of dollars and a prize to do it.
I think the real people who care are actually going to make sacrifices in order to save the environment. For instance carpooling - you can find one easily with RideSearch.com. Or even just recycling, not wasting water, turning off all of the lights and everyday things can add up. Even a green PC adds to the mix. Its a good idea but there needs to be more.

Ok you want gas at $1.75? How about under $1? Try carpooling. RideSearch just released their calculators. http://www.free-press-release.com/news/200804/1208904138.html/
