Ethanol fuel, made from plants such as corn and sugar cane, has been advocated by some people as an alternative to gasoline in the United States. However, many critics argue that ethanol is not a good replacement for gasoline for several reasons.

First, the increased use of ethanol fuel would not help to solve one of the biggest environmental problems caused by gasoline use: global warming. Like gasoline, ethanol releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when it is burned for fuel and carbon dioxide is greenhouse gas: it helps trap heat in the atmosphere. Thus, ethanol offers no environmental advantage over gasoline.

Second, the production of significant amounts of ethanol would dramatically reduce the amount of plants available for uses other than fuel. For example, much of the corn now grown in the United States is used to feed farm animals such as cows and chickens. It is estimated that if ethanol were used to satisfy just 10 percent of the fuel needs in the United States, more than 60 percent of the corn currently grown in the united stated would have to be used to produce ethanol. If most of the corn were used to produce ethanol, a substantial source of food for animals would disappear.

Third, ethanol fuel will never be able to compete with gasoline on price. Although the prices of ethanol and gasoline for the consumer are currently about the same, this is only because of the help in the form of tax subsidies given to ethanol producers by the United States government. These tax subsidies have cost the United States government over $11 billion in the past 30 years. If the United States government were to stop helping producers in this way, the price of ethanol would increase greatly.

as the professor said in the lecture, ethanol fuel is a good fuel and ethanol will be a good replacement for gasoline for several reason. the first reason is decrease in carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that causes the global warming, because of ethanol fuel made from plants such as corn and sugar cane and those products for growing absorb carbon dioxide. so ethanol offers environment advantage over gasoline. second, by using ethanol fuel can increase celolozy plants and making food for animals as replacement for corn that uses for producing ethanol. third, ethanol fuel will be able to compete with gasoline on price. ethanol is cheaper because of many production of it, so by many production of ethanol fuel, it's price will go down and that fuel will be popular. if the united state government were not to stop helping producers in this way, the price
