Josh Tickell (pictured here) is a man with a mission -- a mission that could change the lives of everyone on Planet Earth.
In 1997, Tickell set out on the road with a biodiesel powered “Veggie Van” and a video camera and began filming what would eventually become known as FUEL, the 2008 Sundance Audience Award winning documentary film that investigates the possible replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy. Over the course of his 11 year journey, Tickell traveled the world going to over 25 countries, authored two books, founded a nonprofit organization, and jump-started America’s biodiesel movement.
FUEL presents a very revealing, compelling, and comprehensive look at the story of how America and the world became addicted to oil—from its historical origins to the political shenanigans that support it, to some simple alternatives available now and the steps we can take to change things. Tickell uncovers a hopeful reality pointing toward a decentralized, sustainable energy infrastructure—like big rigs tanking up on biofuel at Carl’s Corner Texas truck stop, a new Brooklyn biodiesel plant serving three states, a miraculous Arizona algae-based fuel farm, an entire school bus fleet running on biofuels in Nevada, and the Swedish public voting to be petroleum free by 2020.
We all talk about creating a sustainable future for our children, yet FUEL clearly shows a complete energy roadmap for all of us to get there. This is a movie that everyone in America, and the world for that matter, must see. In my opinion, in the entire history of movies, there has never been a film made more critically important for its times, than “FUEL”.
Josh Tickell is the man with the plan for our future. Let's all join him. Go see this movie and tell everyone you know to see it too.
