Ethanol fuel
The author of the reading passage thinks that the alternate gasoline, ethanol fuel, is not a good replacement for gasoline. The author provides three reasons to explain his viewpoint, the lecture speaker, however, casts doubt on them and counters them respectively.
As the writer points out, burning ethanol fuel would produce greenhouse gas just like gasoline, therefore, from the aspect of environment-friendly, it is not a good replacement. This argument failed to convince the lecture speaker. The lecture speaker claims that the main material for producing ethanol fuel is corn. When corns are growing, they consume carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, as a result, it actually reduces greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
Another point given in the reading passage is that the main food resource of farm animals would be reduced if corns have been taken to produce ethanol fuel. The lecturer, again, disputes this statement and argues that ethanol fuel is made of the cell wall of plants, in other words, they are not necessary to use the food of farm animals. People could just grow any other plants to replace corns as a material of ethanol fuel.
Lastly, the reading passage suggests that ethanol fuel is too expensive so that it would not be able to compete with gasoline. This suggestion, again, counters by the lecturer. The lecturer thinks that when the production of ethanol fuel goes higher, the cost of it would go down accordingly. He also provides a report claiming that if the production of ethanol fuel goes up to three times higher than it is now, the price could be cut down 40%.
