Neil Koehler, President and CEO of Pacific Ethanol, talks ethanol and food prices on CNBC's Fast Money. Koehler talks about why ethanol is necessary in the United States to increase domestic production of fuel, keep gas prices lower than they otherwise would be and reduce our amount of imported oil.

I am a fan of ethanol and have seen its power and tork first hand. I agree you get less gas mileage when using higher blends of ethanol. currently I drive a 2006 kia Spectra on 50 percent ethanol, it is not a flex fuel vehicle yet. I hate the fact that it is subsidized, now that it has proven to be a good liquid fuel they should stop the subsidy for all fuels including oil and let them compete. my vehicle is small enough ware Ethanol is the fuel for me, I want more than 85 percent blend choices.

CNBC is using hypnotic-type programming with the use of all of the neon-animated backdrops. To get a feel for this effect, watch this video in full-screen mode.

He says we "need" electrical vehicles. What does he think creates electricity?

Ethanol is NOT cost-effective, as it is NOT energy-efficient. Furthermore, this is going to contribute towards a higher-cost of food.

Right on! I've watched a couple of David Blume's vids on youtube, and he really lays out why alcohol/ethanol is a premium fuel. We're just doing it oddly with corn.

Big Oil is hitting ethanol via the main stream media.
We can have food and fuel. Read "Alcohol can be a gas" by David Blume, at your Library.
