11/26/08 - “FUEL” with director and energy activist Josh Tickell

Filmmaker Josh Tickell 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, a documentary film that investigates the possible replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy. 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. More about the movie can be found at TheFuelFilm.com

KBOO.FM host Stephanie Potter speaks with filmmaker Josh Tickell about FUEL, the winner of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival Audience Award for Best Documentary. His film explores our nation’s dependence on foreign oil and looks at alternative solutions. "Fuel" has been garnering standing ovations, and premieres today (Friday/11/14), in downtown Portland at the Fox Tower Stadium. Josh will be available at the 7:30 showings tonight and tomorrow to speak with the audience.
