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 tosolve 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 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.

the reading claims that ethanol is not a god replacment for gasoline.however, the lecture finds all ideas dubious and presents some evidence to refute them all.

the authore argues that replacment of ethanol does not solvse global warming, becaouse it is releases carbon dioxide into the atomosphere too.conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that although burning ethanol release carbon dioxcid but as a part of a plants growth, the plant absorbe carbone dioxide so it reduce the level of carbone dioxide in atmosphere.

furthermore, the reading passage holds the view that if most of corn were used to produse ethanol, a substantional source of food for animals would disappear on the contrary, the professore underline the fact that corn has many parts and ethanol is made from its selelose and animals can feed other parts the corn.

finally, the reading asserts that if goverment of united sates stop helping producers in this way,the price of ethanol would increase greatly. in contrast, the speaker dissmisses this issue due to the fact that the united state goverment will countinue its helps and eventhough if people stope buying ethanol the factorys will start to produce more and research claims that if the amount of produceing increase in three times the cost will diminish in 40 %.
