In this set of material, the passage and the lecture offer two opposing points of view about the advantages of the utilization of ethanol instead of gasoline. While the passage argues that the disadvantages of this idea outweigh the advantages and provides three reasons to support its viewpoint, the lecture emphasizes that none of these reasons are convincing.
First, the passage asserts that using ethanol instead of gasoline will not be a help with reducing the number of green gases in the atmosphere which, leads to global warming, due to the fact that when ethanol burns, it reveals carbon dioxide, likewise gasoline. The lecture challenges this point by explaining the process in which ethanol is achieved. Ethanol comes from a kind of plant called corn. The speaker argues the cultivation of this plant will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, due to the fact that plants need carbon dioxide for their growth.
In addition, the article declares that the source of this fuel is the animals' food and exploiting this source follows by a reduction in animals' population due to the lack of food.
Finally, the author takes the price of the ethanol under question by arguing that the current similarity in the price of gasoline and ethanol is because of the government's subsidies and if the government cuts off this subsides, the price of ethanol would increase dramatically. On the other hand, the lecture claims if people start to advocate an ethanol company, as a result of more demands, the price of ethanol will decrease.
