summarize the points in the passage, being sure to explain how they challenge the ethanol fuel described in the reading passage

In the reading passage, the author discusses that ethanol fuel that made from plants such as corn and sugar cane is not a good replacement for gasoline, while the lecture claims that what the passage state is not convincing and disputes those ideas presented in the passage with several proofs.
Firstly, according to the reading passage, it is suggested that the increased use of ethanol fuel would not help to solve global warming that is one of the greatest environmental troubles caused by gasoline use because ethanol fuel releases carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. In contrast, the professor argues in the lecture that it is not true. Ethanol is made from plants and every plant absorbs carbon dioxide as part of its nutrient, thus the growing plants remove the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
In addition, the statement in the reading material indicates that the production of significant of ethanol would dramatically reduce the amount of plants available for animals. On the contrary, the professor points out that people can produce ethanol using cellulose that is the component of the plants' cell walls. And this kind of plants are not eaten by animals so that there are abundant food for animals to eat.
Finally, the author of the reading passage claims that the prices of ethanol and gasoline for the consumer are currently about the same due to the help by the United States government. However, the speaker argues that if a lot of people come to buy ethanol fuel, the prices will certainly go down and the tax subsidies are no longer needed. For example, if ethanol production could be three times greater than it is now, the cost of producing a unit of ethanol will drop by forty percent.
