Pacific Ethanol CEO has strong words for Scott Pruitt

In a phone  interview Thursday with Brownfield, Pacific Ethanol CEO Neil Koehler made it very clear how he feels about EPA administrator Scott Pruitt.

“It’s been clear for some time that Administrator Pruitt has not been a friend of the ethanol industry, has not been implementing the Renewable Fuel Standard as he should be, and is not implementing the support that we feel very strongly we have from President Trump.  So he’s not doing his job by way of the farmer or the president and he needs to change that behavior or find another job,” Koehler says.
