Veggie Van Organization

In 1997, a young college graduate from Louisiana named Josh Tickell set out on a cross-country road trip in a diesel Winnebago fueled by used frying oil from America's fast food restaurants. His goal: to spread the word about an incredible alternative fuel made from vegetable oil called "biodiesel." Ten years, two books, two films and millions of French Fries later, Tickell and his "Veggie Van" have started a revolution.

Today The Veggie Van Organization is a unique nonprofit educational service that promotes biodiesel fuel and other renewable energies through hands-on demonstrations, school presentations and road tours. Our famous "Veggie Van" goes 70 mph and has driven over 25,000 miles on biodiesel fuel made from new and used vegetable oil. Not only does the three ton, biodiesel powered motor home get 25 miles per gallon on vegetable oil-based biodiesel fuel, but its exhaust also smells like French Fries.

Watts Up America's mission is to bring affordable solar energy to the world and high-tech, green-collar jobs to Southern California.

Motivated by the California Energy Crisis, the looming economic and security risk of relying on foreign-sourced energy, and global climate change, Watts Up America is dedicated to bringing affordable photovoltaic (PV) solar energy to the world.

In the current global market environment of high market prices due to high demand and scarce supply, PV is generally not economically viable for the mass market, especially in the U.S. where energy prices are relatively low. By targeting the low-price market Watts Up America is able to secure large-scale projects that enable us to achieve extreme cost efficiencies while at the same time making PV solar energy accessible and affordable to the mass market TODAY.
