Director, Josh Tickell, a young activist, shuttles us on a whirlwind journey to track the rising domination of the petrochemical industry - from Rockefeller's strategy to halt Ford's first ethanol cars to Vice President Cheney's petrochemical company sponsored energy legislation - and reveals a gamut of available solutions to "repower America" - from vertical farms that occupy skyscrapers to algae facilities that turn wastewater into fuel. Tickell and a surprising array of environmentalists, policy makers, and entertainment notables take us through America's complicated, often ignominious energy past and illuminate a hopeful, achievable future, where decentralized, sustainable living is not only possible, it's imperative.

Critic Reviews

Desson Thomson

It is stylistically breezy but deeply sincere, as Tickell offers a thoughtful, well-researched argument for alternative energy. Read full review

G. Allen Johnson

A peppy, bouncy documentary that is watchable and informative, although Tickell's celebrity name-dropping at times detracts from the serious message. Read full review

Aaron Hillis

It’s a slickly enjoyable production (if unfocused and bloated), and his bullet-point tips are persuasive; but dude, there are better ways to humanize these issues than crying on camera. Read full review

Jeannette Catsoulis

If you can resist the urge to run for the exit, you may leave the theater feeling a lot more hopeful than when you went in. Read full review

Brian Miller

Those outside the bio-church aren't likely to drive--even on regular and currently cheap gasoline--to see Fuel at their local theater. Read full review

Josh Rosenblatt

It’s not a movie. It’s a two-hour infomercial for biodiesel. Read full review
