TPO-22 - Integrated Writing Task

The reading and lecture both discuss using of ethanol as an alternative of gasoline. While the reading provides three disadvantages of using the ethanol instead of gasoline, the professor refutes saying none of these claims are convincing.

Firstly, the reading avers that using the ethanol could not help us to solve the greenhouse gas problem. This is because the ethanol fuel provides the air with carbon dioxide. On the other hand, the professor argues this notion by saying that the increase of ethanol fuel production could not increase the greenhouse gas. This is because the increase of carbon dioxide in the air will counteracted by the plant growth. Furthermore, the plants absorb the carbon dioxide from the air as a nutrient in order to grow. As a result, the carbon dioxide lever could not increase the temperature.

In addition, the reading mentions that using the plants for ethanol production will decrease then food sources for many animals. However, the professor rejects this point by explaining that the ethanol production does not have to decrease the source of food for animals. Moreover, they use cellelose for ethanol production which is not eaten by animals. So, the animals food source would not reduce.

Lastly, the article states that there is no competition between gasoline and ethanol on price. This is because if the government help the ethanol production by tax subsides. Nevertheless, the professor contradicts this idea by pointing out that the ethanol can compete with gasoline on price. Furthermore, ethanol is cheaper than gasoline. This is because of of these supports that need it for ethanol will increase the production. So, the increase of production will cause drop in price. Consequently, the ethanol production will increased by three times and the price will dropped by forty percent.
