NOVA's "Car of the Future"
NOVA embarks on its first open content project-a groundbreaking online component for the science show. Visitors to the NOVA site can access more than 230 clips, over seven hours of footage gathered during the making of the NOVA documentary Car of the Future, to create their own videos and multi-media projects. Footage includes both scenes (lab research, car manufacturing, traffic, and more) and extensive interviews with experts on issues of energy, transportation, and the environment. Once visitors download footage, under a Creative Commons license, they can combine the clips with their own materials and then share their production with the online community.
This contribution comes from Dennis "Kilowatt" Berube, who races his Current Eliminator V in electric car drag races. The video was produced by Steve Bayless of PBS affiliate KUAT in Tucson.

annoying 'baying' host
I saw a listing for your show 'Car of the Future' and was very interested. I tried to watch it but was so turned off by one of the on screen hosts (Ray?), the bearded one. Every time he opened his mouth he bayed (tried to provide a continuous laugh?)over every or anything. He also felt it necessary to clown in case you did not understand that his vocal comments were meant to be laughter.
This included running behind a brick building to demonstrate that fueling a new fuel cell bus was soooo dangerous. I had to quit watching at that point. I will certainly avoid any future airings of your programs. Sorry, it looked like the subject matter was worth looking at, but not worth such juvenile humor. For that I could always watch MTV.
