Google, along with the Brookings Institution, is sponsoring a conference to discuss plug-in hybrid automobiles. In addition to the conference Google has put out a call for videos. According to the Google.org website, “Would you like to drive a plug-in car or truck? Create a video telling us why. If you already own one, create a video showing us how it works. Post your video on YouTube no later than June 4, 2008. We will show some of the most informative, original and funniest videos at the conference.”

Those who can’t make it to the conference can view the conference via webcast at http://www.google.org/recharge/dcpluginsconference/index.html.
