French Fries to Go French Fries to Go is a short film that documents the origins of Telluride, Colorado’s Biodiesel project, which resulted in the launching of the first city bus in the nation to run on 100% pure biodiesel. The film follows Telluride’s own affectionately dubbed 'Granola Ayatollah of Canola' aka Charris Ford, as he makes the rounds educating and inspiring folks in his veggie powered rig. This funny and hopeful piece features cameos by Daryl Hannah, Dennis Weaver and Dr. Andrew Weil. Kilowatt Ours Kilowatt Ours opens with Vice President Dick Cheney's energy policy speech in which Cheney makes the claim that America needs nearly 1900 new power plants in the next 20 years to meet projected electricity demands. From here, filmmaker Jeff Barrie takes viewers on a journey from the coal mines of West Virginia to the solar panel fields of Florida, as he discovers solutions to America's energy related problems. Kilowatt Ours invites viewers to help build a net zero nation, by conserving energy to the greatest extent possible at home, then using clean renewable energy to provide the electricity used. An Inconvenient Truth From director Davis Guggenheim comes the Sundance Film Festival hit, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH, which offers a passionate and inspirational look at one man's fervent crusade to halt global warming's deadly progress in its tracks by exposing the myths and misconceptions that surround it. That man is former Vice President Al Gore, who, in the wake of defeat in the 2000 election, re-set the course of his life to focus on a last-ditch, all-out effort to help save the planet from irrevocable change
