Film – Fields of Fuel/director Josh Tickell

This film tracks the rising domination of the petrochemical industry. Tickell, a leading expert on alternative fuels, grew up in Louisiana, where members of his family suffered from diseases linked to pollution from oil refineries. After discovering biodiesel, he earned an MFA in film in order to chronicle and vitalize the green-energy movement.

Film and Post-Film Discussion

Wave Power: The Potential of Oregon's Ocean Energy is a film directed by Oregon Sea Grant which explores the new technology breakthroughs in converting the natural power of waves to a usable energy source. It compares some of the techniques for harnessing ocean currents and vertical waves. Also included is a discusson by Hawaii scientists who are currently exploring this new fuel source.

The film will be followed by a discussion on Hawaii's wave energy potential.
