More Citizen's Briefing Book Prize Recommendations

Recently I posted on some recommendations that were sent in on the Change.gov Citizen's Briefing Book. Here's more from that site. Apparently a lot of people are interested in the prize approach, in particular for energy applications. (I'd say that space and a few other areas are even more fertile ground for prizes than energy for a couple reasons, but there's certainly plenty of room for quite a few more energy prizes, too). I guess I'd like to "vote up" some of these, but it looks like it's too late.
