FIELDS OF FUEL
2008 Sundance Audience Award Winner

Oil is the lifeblood of the world. But we’re running out of it. Now. 'Fields of Fuel’ tells the story of Josh Tickell as he travels around the globe looking for an immediate solution to the looming oil crisis. The filmmaker uncovers a homegrown, renewable fuel called ‘biodiesel’. Made from vegetable oil biodiesel could replace all United States transportation fuels and break America’s shackles of dependence on the Middle East. Forever.

Fields of Fuel unveils a curtain of deception covering America’s dependence on foreign oil as it explores one possible solution to the looming energy crisis. Made from vegetable oil, biodiesel fuel, is an economically sustainable, environmentally sound alternative energy already widely used in Europe. It has the potential to reduce dangerous green house gases, boost America’s sagging economy and reduce our dependence on foreign oil. So why doesn’t everyone know about biodiesel?

Fields of Fuel discovers that the political barriers and companies with a financial stake in our national energy policies are preventing the widespread adoption of this homegrown alternative. We follow energy expert Josh Tickell as he engages people on both sides of the energy spectrum providing viewers with never before seen picture of what may be the most important and most hidden battle on the planet.
