	<strong>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
	<strong>A REVOLUTION IS GROWING&nbsp; &ldquo;FIELDS OF FUEL&rdquo;&nbsp; BRINGS ALTERNATIVE POWER TO THE PEOPLE</strong></p>
<p>
	<em>OFFICIAL SELECTION DOCUMENTARY COMPETITION 2008 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL </em></p>
<p>
	Best-selling author and environmentalist Josh Tickell&rsquo;s feature-length documentary film, Fields of Fuel, will make its World<br />
	Premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 21, 2008. However, Tickell is doing more than premiering a film he is<br />
	bringing the biodiesel revolution to the streets of Park City. Accompanying him will be a fleet of biodiesel powered<br />
	vehicles, a former Texaco oil executive turned biodiesel innovator, copies of his second book Biodiesel America and the<br />
	world&rsquo;s first car to run on biodiesel made from algae.</p>
<p>
	Known as the &ldquo;Veggie Van&rdquo; guy, Tickell captured the public&rsquo;s attention 10 years ago when he drove his sunflower painted<br />
	VW Winnebago around the United States on biodiesel he made from recycled fast food cooking oil. This two-year &ldquo;Veggie<br />
	Van&rdquo; tour to promote biodegradable biodiesel garnered international media attention and jump-started the now booming<br />
	biodiesel industry. As one of the nation&rsquo;s leading experts on sustainable biofuels, Tickell&rsquo;s first book, From the Fryer to the<br />
	Fuel Tank &ndash; The Complete Guide to Using Vegetable Oil as an Alternative Fuel, sparked a biodiesel revolution.<br />
	Presented by Producers Greg Reitman of Blue Water Entertainment and Dale Rosenbloom of Open Pictures, Fields of<br />
	Fuel, chronicles Tickell&rsquo;s personal journey as a man who is showing Americans how to take back their country one gas<br />
	tank at a time. He takes celebrities, scientists and world energy experts on an alternative power trip through Louisiana&rsquo;s<br />
	polluted bayous, Detroit&rsquo;s misguided corporations and Washington&rsquo;s corrupt practices. At its core, the film reveals the true<br />
	price we are paying for a barrel of oil. That price is ultimately our freedom. Tickell presents a simple and immediately<br />
	applicable solution strategy utilizing existing infrastructure to secure America&rsquo;s energy independence and boost the<br />
	economy.</p>
<p>
	Fields of Fuel, provides inspiring examples of how other countries are making the shift away from black gold including<br />
	Sweden&#39;s national commitment to become fossil fuel free by the year 2020 and a tax credit program for biodiesel use in<br />
	Germany (where Rudolf Diesel first invented the Diesel engine to run on peanut oil over 100 years ago).&nbsp; The film also<br />
	addresses the controversy surrounding biofuels that are made from food crops and presents solutions for making fuel<br />
	from non-agricultural sources such as algae.</p>
<p>
	Fields of Fuel also profiles some unlikely green heroes like New York City Council Member James Gennaro, who is<br />
	working with local metro transit authorities and companies to green New York City, as well as innovative companies like<br />
	Nova Biosource Fuels, Inc. and Solazyme, Inc. that are leading the renewable fuel revolution.</p>
<p>
	Nova Biosource Fuels&rsquo; Chief Executive Officer, Ken Hern, is a former Texaco executive who served as President of<br />
	Texaco Saudi, Inc. Texas oil man turned biodiesel maverick, Hern has been instrumental in developing Nova&rsquo;s proprietary<br />
	process technology that has the capability of making biofuels from over 25 different feedstocks, including nonagricultural<br />
	sources, without producing any air or waste water streams. Nova recently secured $41 million to complete and run its<br />
	Seneca, Illinois biodiesel refinery capable of producing 60 million gallons per year.</p>
<p>
	Founded by Harrison Dillon and Jonathan Wolfson, Solazyme is a synthetic biology company unleashing the power of<br />
	marine microbes to create clean and scalable solutions for the renewable energy, industrial chemical, and specialty<br />
	ingredient markets. In Fields of Fuel, Solazyme will unveil the first car powered by algal biodiesel in real-world driving; and<br />
	festival goers will be able to see the car live on the streets of Park City.</p>
<p>
	In the spring of 2008 Tickell and his team plan to take Fields of Fuel on the road as part of a national community outreach<br />
	educational campaign to transform America&rsquo;s cities and towns to green energy and make energy independence a priority<br />
	issue in the Presidential election. Armed with an arsenal of biofuel powered vehicles, his &quot;Community Action Campaign&quot;<br />
	will hit 50 cities with a cadre of characters and notables from the film.</p>
<p>
	And with invitations to present at the Democratic National Convention and prestigious Republican events, Fields of Fuel<br />
	might just be what America needs to pull the needle of oil addiction from its throbbing transportation vein - right before the<br />
	next President steps onto the White House Lawn.</p>
