One of the refreshing traits of this action-nudging documentary is Tickell's willingness to wrestle his own biases.

Top CriticTickell makes his case in an entertaining and hence all the more effective manner.

Smartly animated interstitials, memorable archival material and a lively soundtrack round out the fast-paced proceedings.

While Fuel takes persuasive swipes at the influence of oil-based energy companies over domestic and foreign policy, the film is more dazzling as an introduction to all kinds of clean energy alternatives many of us have never heard of.

Fuel's message is clear -- oil is bad; alternative energy is good -- and its goals are simple -- put Big Oil out of business by selling the American public on the virtues of cleaner energy sources, such as wind, solar, ethanol, hemp, and world music.
