The Ansari X Prize Foundation — which offered $10 million for the first non-government manned space flight — has turned its attention for cars. The group is offering a $25 million prize for the first organization to sell 10,000 cars with 250MPG.”The current paradigm is that it’s perfectly acceptable to drive a car that only gets 20 or 30 miles per gallon. This prize is about leveraging cash and opportunity to effect positive change in the environment, economy and geopolitics,” said Mark Goodstein. Goodstein said rules were still being worked out, and more information would be released soon.
