“IMPRESSIVELY COMPREHENSIVE”…”FUEL” is a vital, superbly assembled documentary that presents an insightful overview of America’s troubled relationship with oil and how alternative and sustainable energies can reduce our country’s — and the world’s — addictive dependence on fossil fuels.”
- Gary Goldstein, LOS ANGELES TIMES

“DYNAMIC, STIRRING…A MUST SEE AND NOT JUST FOR ENVIRONMENTALISTS”…We all know about ethanol, solar-and wind-generated power, hybrid engines and the like. But by the end of “Fuel,” one might very well come out of the theater ready to invest in companies deriving energy from wood chips and algae, or growing food in vertical, inner-city farms.
- Tm Keogh, SEATTLE TIMES

“DEEPLY PERSONAL AND SURPRISINGLY PERSONABLE”…one of the refreshing traits of this action-nudging documentary is Tickell’s willingness to wrestle his own biases. Tickell and writer Johnny O’Hara make a pragmatic case that one solution can’t cure our energy woes. With candor, the doc often lets a nagging question cloud hope: Can energy ever be consequence-free?
- Lisa Kennedy, DENVER POST
