The passage claims that some critics believe that ethanol is not an appropriate substitute for gasoline by pointing out three reasons for support. The lecture, on the other hand, states that none of the mentioned reasons are convincing and refutes each of the author's reasons.
The passage claims that some critics believe that ethanol is not an appropriate substitute for gasoline by pointing out three reasons for support. The lecture, on the other hand, states that none of the mentioned reasons are convincing and refutes each of the author's reasons.
First of all, the writer goes on to mention that global warming is the most important issue that caused by gasoline will not be solved by the use of ethanol. On the contrary, the listening rejects this by explaining that the process of growing plants for producing ethanol contradict with producing carbon dioxide because the plants absorb carbon dioxide as nutrition. Therefore, using ethanol instead of gasoline will not add to global warming and actually remove carbon dioxide, which is known as a source of global warming, from the atmosphere.
Furthermore, the reading claims that production of ethanol would drastically reduce the number of plants which now are eaten by animals and are their source of food. Conversely, the professor supports an opposite view to that presented in the passage; she describes that production of ethanol uses some parts of plants called celiulus, which most not eaten by animals. As a result, the animals could eat their plants and their source of food will not be reduced.
Finally, the author explains that if the tax subsidies that are given to ethanol producer by the United States government be cut down, the price of ethanol would not be able to compete with gasoline. The speaker, in contrast, rejects this view and illustrates the idea that when the request for a product increase, leads to drops its price. The professor alleged that if the use of ethanol rise by three times, the price of ethanol will drop up to 40 percent.
