Although both the reading and the listening passage are about whether ethanol is a good replacement for gasoline, their perspectives are different. The listening states that ethanol cannot replace gasoline, whereas the reading refutes this claim.
To begin with, as mentioned in the reading passage, using more ethanol fuel, which also releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, would not help solve global warming. However, the professor in the listening opposes such an argument, based on the assertion that using ethanol fuel would not add global warming. In other words, the production of ethanol, which requires growing corn, counteracts the released carbon dioxide. Plants used for the production would absorb carbon dioxide, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Another point the reading emphasizes is that the production of substantiate amount of ethanol would critically reduce the amounts of plants used for other works. On the contrary, the speaker points out that the process of producing ethanol would not reduce the amount of plants for other uses. That is because the process only require part of the plant that is not eaten by animals. Be based on that and the food source for animal would not suffer.
Finally, the professor challenges the idea indicated in the reading that ethanol fuel will never be able to compete with gasoline in terms of price, due to the fact that the price of gasoline and that of ethanol fuel are equal because the US government help ethanol producers in form of tax subsidies. The lecturer refutes this idea by stating that the support from the government would not be needed; and ethanol fuel will be able to compete with gasoline. When the number of ethanol fuel consumers is large enough, the producer would increase production, therefore decreasing price. Furthermore, a research shows that if the production of ethanol increases by three times, its costs would drop 40%.
