‘Fuel’ your Monday with an indie doc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQyxKio0fL0 OK, that headline took all the creative juices out of me. Monday, 7pm, there’s yet another documentary screening at the Tower Theatre (I’m liking this trend). I’ll let Fresno Famous do the rest….

Rousing and reactionary, FUEL is an amazing, in-depth, personal journey of oil use and abuse as filmmaker Josh Tickell examines alternative energy solutions other than oil. Featured in the film is a leading valley energy company, Emerald Energy providing viable solutions towards addressing water, energy and pollution problems. FUEL is a comprehensive, yet entertaining look at energy in America: a history of our present predicament, and new solutions towards solving our dependence on foreign oil. The film flows seamlessly through scientific data, facts, history and personal narrative, and like any good film, it has intrigue, conspiracy, greed and mayhem. You’ll be entertained and introduced to a new and exciting technology that will surely change the world we live in.

Tickets are $16 with proceeds being donated to local farm workers and their families. After the film is a panel discussion with the director Josh Tickell, producer Rebecca Harrell and Emerald Energy President Ray Allen. Thanks to Fresno Famous for the tip.

  1. Don’t believe the hype. Or at least check your facts before smelling Ray Allen’s fumes on the future of biodiesel and his Jack and the Beanstalk Tree. Another site, although not pretty, debunks Ray Allen, CEO of Emerald Energy. A little fact checking and background check on Ray Allen will prove very interesting.

    Although, they changed their trees name from Megaflora to HDSD, it appears they still lie under the same shady canopy.

    Refer to megafloraplantions.com and see why Ray’s tale adds up to nothing more that stealing someone else’s Golden Egg.

  2. PLEASE READ – POSTED BY ANOTHER VICTIM OF:

    Ray Allen, CEO of Emerald Energy – A lot of people have been hurt by this man.

    Chris McVay on April 8, 2009 6:17 pm Ray Allen Lived with my Mother until she lost her house after putting all of her resources time money and life into helping him develop this plant for the last 10 years. I moved my family to San Diego, so did my sister on the promise of a job working to develop this tree. Ray was always making promises of this backer is sending X amount of money on this day then the next day finally three months later we all left San Diego and moved back to our respective cities of origin to rebuild our lives. In the process my marriage fell apart my sisters marriage fell apart along with others whom I am not at liberty to name. He and my mother lived with my sister in Las Vegas, working on the business, always talking about millions if not billion dollar contracts. This man after 10 hard years of leeching off of our family, found a new love somewhere else(bigger pocketbook not yet depleted). The tragedy lies in the fact that he blindsided my mother. Made her 51 percent owner of his previous company and then left her holding the ball with nothing to show for 10 years of selfless dedication to this “tree”. Ray Allen is a con-man. He is a Liar and a thief. He got his degree online, and has claimed to have a doctorate. Phony. I don’t believe he developed this tree. He is a fraud and a liar. I was suppose to be working on this Fresno Project, but these were just words used to manipulate my mother into believing that he still had our interests in mind but he never returned my calls once about the job. He is using his unlimited backers to destroy my mother with litigation after having depleted everything from my family and now his tree is going to save the world? This tree requires tons of nutrients to grow that fast, it can decimate the land it grows on.

    1. Very interesting allegations, sir. Just a couple of questions: Are you yourself based out Fresno and if so, do you plan on attending the screening tonight?
