    Pro-choice
    The word "choice" comes up again and again in this movie to promote alternative fuels, but it doesn't present solid grounds for choosing, and indeed seems to be advocating for government to force adoption. This is simply propaganda. It does provide a basic introduction to the various fuel options, their history and current use, which casts doubt on gasoline's status as the standard fuel, particularly in terms of emissions. But the claim that US oil companies rigged the market to force us to use oil conflicts with warnings of foreign control, and the assertion that Prohibition was engineered by Rockefeller to stop ethanol vehicles pushes the narrative into the realm of conspiracy theory. Not once does the movie mention that biofuel has less energy per gallon, and the production of electricity to charge electrics is also left hazy, so the economics aren't even touched upon. "Choice" is hardly desirable if it means you will be choosing badly.
