PHIZES
Up until a few decades ago it
was a custom of governments
and businesses to offer large
prizes to those who solved
problems or invented things that
would help a lot of people. Maybe
it’s time to resume that custom,
and offer prizes for the best ideas
in solving the energy crisis.
Judging by the past, offering
prizes really works.
Bark in the days of sailing
ships for example, the British
Navy offered a large prize to
anyone inventing a clock accur
ate enough to help plot a ship’s
position after being at sea for a
month.
All over Europe, inventors
went to work, trying to win‘the
prize. Soon one of them
succeeded. Millions of us have
benefitted from that invention.
When the Chicago world’s fair
of 1893 wanted a thrilling new
ride, they offered a big prize.
George Ferris won by inventing
original, gigantic Ferris
Wheel, that carried more than a
thousand passengers at one time.
Lindbergh flew the Atlantic in
an attempt to win a 25-thousand-
dollar prize.
Would offering prizes help
solve today’s energy crisis?
There’s no guarantee of course,
but it sure wouldn’t hurt to try —
