using ethanol instead of gasoline

Essay topics:

using ethanol instead of gasoline

The reading and the listening are about using ethanol instead of gasoline. While the author calims that ethanol is not a good replacement for gasoline, the professor refutes all the claims made my the listening and states that ethanol can be a good alternative to gasoline.

First, the speaker contends that ethanol could not solve the problem of global warming. On the contrary, the lecturer opposes this and mentions that ethanol could not add to global warming. The professor explaines that ethanol is made from plants, such as corns; so people should grow plant in order to produce ethanol. The lecturer points out that growing plants could absord carbon dioxide from the air and reduce global warming.

Second, the reading states that using ethanol could reduce the amount of plants available as animals' nutrients. On the other hand, the listening contradicts this and says that cellulose is the main part of the plant that should be used to produce ethanol. The professor mentions that cellulose finds only on the cell wall, which is in the part of plants that do not be eaten by animals. As a result, the lecturer adds that using plants to produce ethanol will not diminsh the amount of food for animals.

Third, the writer claims that ethanol could not compete with gasoline in the term of price. Conversely, the lecturer refutes this and posits that ethanol could compete with gasoline in the future. The professor exaplains that if people start to buy ethanol, its production will increase, which could drop its price. The speaker mentions that there is a statistic done found that if the production of ethanol is three time greater than today, the cost of ethanol production will drop by forty percent.
