Director Josh Tickell, a young activist, shuttles us along on his whirlwind 12-year journey around the world to track the rising domination of the petrochemical industry, to find solutions to America's addiction to oil and offer an uplifting testament to the immediacy of new energy solutions. A shrinking economy, a failing auto industry, rampant unemployment, an out-of-control national debt, and an insatiable demand for energy weigh heavily on all of us. Fuel shows us the way out of the mess we're in by explaining how to replace every drop of oil we now use, while creating green jobs and keeping our money here at home. Tickell and a surprising array of environmentalists, policy makers, and entertainment notables such as Woody Harrelson, Robert Kennedy Jr. and Larry David 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 and within our reach.
