Develop Hydrogen Cars
Basically use the hydrogen as a battery using electrolysis. Refill at home or at a station by taking in H2 and O2 and giving back H_2O. Make it a closed system that simply takes rising ocean water out of the environment and otherwise is independent of the environment.
The car can convert the H2 and O2 into water and use the energy released to propel the car. We can also reuse energy absorbed by breaks and heat converters to create more H2 and O2 with electrolysis.
I don't really think this should be used…

Free beer for all programmers
A federally-issued beer stipend for citizens aged 21 years and over would undoubtedly result in a surge in open source software development, increasing the likelihood of government entities transitioning to open solutions as they become more robust and secure.

Promote secure operating systems on goverment computers
Use Linux, BSD, Solaris, MAC, anything but the unsecure Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista, 2008 Server...) O.S. that is the foundation for botnets and other criminal hacking activity. Anything of mission-critical importance or of a super confidential nature does absolutely not belong on a Microsoft Windows computer.

Appoint someone who has a deep history in technology. someone who understands it well, can explain the issues clearly, in both technical terms and lay terms. I heard Bill Joy's name bounced around as a possible candidate, and i think he would be well respected in the technical community.

Make software and business methods unpatentable
Patents are a creation of statute, and can be removed by statute. Software and business method patents are a farce which have caused innovation to stagnate and companies to waste billions on lawyers. They are toxic to the development of free software. The very idea that an abstract idea can be monopolized and held to ransom is morally offensive. Software and business method patents have got to go.

Award companies for keeping tech jobs in the U.S.
Too many companies are out sourcing (partly because they only care about the bottom now, and not a year form now). Companies should be awarded for creating new Tech jobs here and for investing in R&D here in the U.S.

Offer higher incentives for Geothermal
"Solar" is a great buzz word, but the reality is that the technology has a far way to go still. Geothermal energy, on the other hand, already works and has the ability to do far greater good in northern climates than solar can on a dollar for dollar basis. Energy used to heat and cool building accounts for far greater pollution than cars do, and geothermal heat pumps can cut the amount of energy used for this down by 50-75%, and what's best, they do it in a cost effective way. We do need to find ways to create new…

use satellites and drones to destroy drug crops
Use satellites and unmanned drones to locate cannabis, coca, and poppy plants. Then use unmanned drones deliver herbicide or fire to destroy the plants. Allow destruction to limit supply. Less supply drives the price up. Higher prices can influence demand. Less money in the hands of drug cartels helps our neighboring countries protect their law enforcement and judicial officials, and drains terrorists of revenue needed to fund operations against the U.S. and its allies.

fund the NASA highway in the sky program
From an ecological perspective, highways and automobiles cause more damage than many other actions man performs. Expediting the transition to sky cars will not only allow ecosystems to exist as they once did (i.e. without an interstate highway cutting them in half), but will also allow us to spend less money on maintenance. Plus, sky cars would be faster, easier to implement autopilot functions on than street cars, and could totally revolutionize society in many other ways. If we actually invested in this idea, we could have the first cars flying around out there in 5-10 years, maybe even less.…

Let us vote on government services with our dollars
Let's bring choice and market competition to government services. Show me what percentage of my tax dollars are going to each federal service (education, foreign aid, social security, medicare), and then let me buy into those services, or not.
If I'm not happy with those services, I can take my money to competing private services (private school, Red Cross, retirement plans, health insurance)
