Henry Ford was producing ethanol compatible cars, and supplied 25% of the mid-western fuel market, until John. D. Rockefeller, the founder of Standard oil had prohibition enacted. Was this the real reason behind the prohibition of alcohol?

I think It's important we catch up to how corporations seek to take control of the oil and fuel industry. I think this is an interesting historical record.

It talks a little about Ethanol being used to fuel cars. It makes me wonder how powerful the Rockefellers really are and how they are related to the other groups. Could the Rockefellers themselves be more powerful than the Roths, for example?

Any clue on what documentary the original clip is taken from?
