:: Fields of Fuel - The upcoming feature-length documentary by Josh Tickell ::
'Fields of Fuel' is Josh Tickell's upcoming 90 minute long HD documentary film. Shot in the United States, Australia, Germany, Sweden and Brazil, the movie unveils a curtain of deception covering America's crippling dependence on foreign oil as it explores one possible solution to the coming energy crisis. Made from vegetable oil, 'biodiesel' fuel, is an economically sustainable, environmentally sound alternative fuel 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' reveals how America's politicians and energy industries have attempted to prevent the widespread adoption of this homegrown alternative to petroleum. Will they succeed or can a rag tag group of scientists, environmentalists and ex-government hawks – a.k.a "the biodiesel movement" – save America from its oily ways?

:: Biodiesel America – The new book by Josh Tickell ::
Oil is at $70 per barrel and the supply from OPEC is becoming less stable. Venezuela has massively increased its exports of oil to satisfy the sharply rising demand from China. Iraq continues to cause major concern and the human rights issues of oil producing countries like Niger cannot be ignored.
Rural American economies are declining as farmers struggle to make ends meet. The environmental damage caused by burning fossil fuels is causing global problems that top-level scientists say are a bigger threat to national security than terrorist attacks.
Cancer and respiratory diseases such as asthma continue to plague our society, yet as our demand for energy continues to grow so does our use of fuels that produce toxic emissions.
Is there a viable alternative? In his new book Josh Tickell has spoken to leading energy and industry experts to answer just this question. Whether you are a farmer, an economist, a politician, an environmentalist or a concerned citizen this book provides vital information for anyone concerned with current and future energy security.To learn more about, or purchase, "Biodiesel America" please click here .
