The truth is most artists have no choice. Touring and selling T-shirts is how musicians make their living. Right now, petroleum is the only reliable choice touring artists have. Planetary Transport Company and our partner nonprofit, STAMP (Sustainable Touring for Artists, Musicians, and Performers) have a plan to change that.
From vans to tour buses to the generators at music festivals, they are all powered by petroleum. Every mile puts more carbon dioxide and carcinogenic particulates in the air and more money in the pockets of fossil fuel giants who don’t care about our music, our message, our communities, or our planet. Not only that but those same petroleum monopolies, take our money and buy politicians who vote against the arts every chance they get. They know we need to tour to bring in revenue and they gouge us. For decades, they have been gouging us while suppressing any viable alternative to their monopoly. We, as artists, must stop giving these bastards our money. We as human beings on this planet, must stop giving these bastards our money.
Planetary Transport Company and STAMP have a plan to make fossil fuel free alternatives a reality. This plan will work in nearly every major city and college town across North America. We want to operate in all of them, building a network that will give artists, creators and communities legitimate alternatives to petroleum. Alternatives that don’t lock artists into systems that destroy the planet they’re trying to inspire.
Our WeFunder campaign goal is to build a prototype operation that will serve the Front Range of Colorado and Cheyenne and Laramie in Wyoming. Then replicate that in major cities and college towns across North America.
We will provide the following products and services to the communities in which we operate:
- Renewable diesel/biodiesel, hydrogen, and green electricity/charging stations (not coal)
- Fossil fuel free taxi, shuttle, and charter services and vehicle and tour bus rentals
- Fleet fueling services
- Generators, light towers, and battery power services to festivals, businesses, and the public
- Drivers education for the next generations of drivers as well as sustainability education
We’ve already transported over 25,000 passengers to events, festivals, and concerts across Colorado and Wyoming. We’ve provided fueling, transportation, and consultation services to dozens of artists and festivals. And now, we’re raising funds to scale so we can provide these services to communities everywhere. We hope you’ll join our team, The Planetary Alliance, on the ground floor as we prepare to launch.
Our Wefunder campaign isn’t just about buses. It’s about building a regenerative touring economy where artists own their infrastructure, and creativity doesn’t come at the cost of climate collapse.
Whether you’re an artist, a fan, or someone who wants to live in a world where the road to your dreams doesn’t run on oil—we invite you to fuel the change.
