Fuel is entertaining and informative although it tends to wander and be a little broad on its focus. It does, however, end up being an important call to arms for a number of environmental issues, with "homebase" established upon America's ridiculous dependence on foreign oil.
I believe one of the most powerful aspects of this movie is the awareness that what's "out there" is truly sufficient for the energy needs of the world - it's only a question of how to make it reality. From the miraculous production of bio-diesel through algae, to the mega-tree possibilities to implementation of current renewable technologies... the message is clear and powerful, "We already HAVE the ability to leave fossil fuels forever behind!" I think there were too many bullet point sections and the movie branched from a targeted story about the history of bio-diesel into overall environmental issues. It would've been improved with more structure and focus.
As far as the information in the movie... definitely should be an interest and concern to citizens everywhere. I was surprised by the rise & take-down of bio-diesel, but am excited for its new future and the future of our energy technologies. It is a movie that ends with a lot of hope, and I appreciated that welcome optimism.
