Fuel director Josh Tickell booked on Monday's Leno
The list of people who have appeared in an AutoblogGreen interview and on the Tonight Show (currently at a very low number - I'm thinking Ed Begley Jr. has talked with Jay, but who else?) will grow by one tomorrow night. Filmmaker Josh Tickell is scheduled to be on the couch along with Kevin Bacon and British pop musician Lily Allen. Tickell's movie Fuel is an updated version of Fields of Fuel, a documentary of Tickell's 11-year quest to popularize renewable, sustainable biodiesel while driving his used-cooking-oil-powered "Veggie Van" around the country. Fuel broadens the energy spectrum to include other renewable energy sources in an entertaining and practical way. Tickell is out hyping the film because it is finally making it into wider release. Check out our review from the film's premiere here. Thanks to Michael W. for the tip!

Finally a film that not only adresses a well known problem but then provides realistic solutions that will keep America moving forward. Amazing work Josh Tickell!

"I'm a fifteen year old Panamanian girl. I don't own a car but the first thing I told my mom after watching this documentary was 'I want my first car, and all of them, to be run by biodiesel...' I loved the message and hope it spreads. You have my support! Best of luck!
