Something on the scale of railroads, automobiles or the Internet — the kind of breakthrough that emerges every so often and builds industries, generates jobs and mints fortunes.

Senate readies fill-up for ‘cash for clunkers’

The House approved the replenishment last week for the 10-day-old program, which gives consumers up to $4,500 in federal subsidies for trading in their cars for new, more energy-efficient models. A final Senate vote would send the bill to the White House, where President Barack Obama’s signature was assured.
