Fellow Clean Car Supporter,
Call for Videos: "Why I Want to Drive a Plug-In"
Google.org, the search-engine giant's philanthropic arm, is calling for 90-second YouTube videos from plug-in vehicle owners and those who want to own them. The former should show and tell the world how plug-ins work and why they like them and the latter should explain why they'd like to take the wheel.
The videos must be posted on YouTube by June 4 and some of the "most informative, original and funniest" will be shown at a major EV conference organized by Google.org and the Brookings Institution to be held in Washington, D.C. on June 11 and 12. The conference, titled "Plug-in Electric Vehicles 2008: What Role for Washington?" will explore EVs, their potential to reduce oil dependence and the role of federal policy in promoting them. Plug In America co-founder Chelsea Sexton is among the event's speakers. Others include Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA); Sen. John Kerry (D-MA); Shai Agassi, CEO & Founder, Project Better Place; Troy Clarke, President, GM North America; and John Podesta, President, Center for American Progress.
The plug-in videos also will be featured on a map on Google.org's RechargeIT website. RechargeIT is Google.org's initiative to reduce CO2 emissions, cut oil use and stabilize the electrical grid by accelerating the adoption of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and vehicle-to-grid technology.
Plug In America is not affiliated with Google.org or the upcoming conference. We are simply helping to spread the word about another terrific opportunity to spread the plug-in gospel.
