FUEL is a comprehensive and entertaining look at energy in America: a history of where we have been, our present predicament and a solution to our dependence on foreign oil.

Rousing and reactionary, FUEL is an amazing, in-depth, personal journey of oil use and abuse
as it examines wide-ranging energy solutions other than oil, the faltering US auto and petroleum industries, and the latest stirrings of the American mindset toward alternative energy. Interviews with a wide range of environmentalists, policy makers and educators, along with such "green" celebrities as Woody Harrelson, Sheryl Crow and Larry Hagman offer serious fuel for thought.

FUEL can help break the discussion wide open as it exposes the shocking connections between the auto industry, the oil industry and government, while exploring alternative energies such as solar wind, electricity and non-food based biofuels.

Running time: 111 minutes plus introduction by Cowichan Energy Alternatives.

"I was jumping out of my seat! Every school needs to show this to their classes!"

What People are saying about our Event and the Fuel film on Vancouver Island:

These events were very well planned and very well executed. Full houses were treated to an informative and inspiring film. BCSEA is very pleased with our partnership with Cowichan Energy Alternatives. Their positive and generous approach to sponsors set a favourable tone that benefited all participants. - Peter Ronald, BCSEA Provincial Coordinator

Fuel takes a hard look at the global energy crisis, and yet left me inspired and optimistic that we can overcome the energy nightmare in which we find ourselves. This is crucial at a time when we absolutely cannot afford to lose hope. Thanks to Cowichan Energy Alternatives for bringing such a heartening and informative message to Nanaimo. - Michelle Young, Salmon Aquaculture Campaigner-Georgia Strait Alliance

The film showing has begun to have some very positive ripples locally. I am so glad that you folks took that risk! I think the film has helped people realise that there was a sustainable energy industry that predated the oil and gas industry, and that there is no reason we cannot return to it! This gives people some hope for the future, something we collectively are certainly lacking, especially in light of the failure of our national leaders to act decisively. - Ian Shore, Shore Energy Solutions
