tpo 22 using ethanol as an alternative to gasoline
The material discusses the concept of using ethanol as an alternative to gasoline. While the reading claims that ethanol fuel is not a good replacement, the listening challenges this and states that ethanol is a good alternative and all the reasons mention in the reading passages are not convincing.
First, the author points out that using ethanol fuel has no advantages over gasoline in the term of global warming since ethanol releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. On the other hand, the professor opposes this and posits that ethanol will not add to global warming. He states that it is true that ethanol fuel releases carbon dioxide, but ethanol is made from plants. The lecturer explains that growing plants to make ethanol will reduce carbon dioxide in the air. The speaker adds that plants usually absorb carbon dioxide as a nutrient to grow, so carbon dioxide will be removed from the air during this process.
Second, the writer cites that producing ethanol will consume plants that should be used to feed farm animals. On the contrary, the professor encounters this and brings up that using ethanol fuel will not reduce the source of food for animals. The lecturer says that ethanol is made from cellulose which is found in the cell wall of the plants, and this part of plants is not eaten by animals.
Third, the reading mentions that ethanol does not have the ability to compete with gasoline on price. Conversely, the lecturer contradicts this and points out that ethanol will be able to compete with gasoline in the future. According to the lecture, if more people start to buy ethanol fuel, the production of it will increase and that will lead to drop its price. The professor points out that if the production of ethanol becomes three times more than its production today, the price of ethanol fuel will drop by forty percent.
