Ethanol fuel, made from plants such as corn and sugar cane, has been advocated by some people as an alternative to gasoline in the United States. However, many critics argue that ethanol is not a good replacement for gasoline for several reasons.
First, the increased use of ethanol fuel would not help tosolve one of the biggest environmental problems caused by gasoline use: global warming. Like gasoline, ethanol releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when it is burned for fuel and carbon dioxide is greenhouse gas: it helps trap heat in the atmosphere. Thus, ethanol offers no environmental advantage over gasoline.
Second, the production of significant amounts of ethanol would dramatically reduce the amount of plants available for uses other fuel. For example, much of the corn now grown in the United States is used to feed farm animals such as cows and chickens. It is estimated that if ethanol were used to satisfy just 10 percent of the fuel needs in the United States, more than 60 percent of the corn currently grown in the united stated would have to be used to produce ethanol. If most of the corn were used to produce ethanol, a substantial source of food for animals would disappear.
Third, ethanol fuel will never be able to compete with gasoline on price. Although the prices of ethanol and gasoline for the consumer are currently about the same, this is only because of the help in the form of tax subsidies given to ethanol producers by the United States government. These tax subsidies have cost the United States government over $11 billion in the past 30 years. If the United States government were to stop helping producers in this way, the price of ethanol would increase greatly.
The article states that ethanol is not a good replacement for gasoline and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that not one of the reasons that ar provided in the reading are convincing and refutes each of the author's reasons.
First, the reading claims that the use of ethanol will not help to solve the global warming problem. The professor refutes this point by saying that using ethanol will not add to the global warming.
He states that ethanol will release carbon diaxide to the atmosphere but to produce ethanol we need many plants. So, the number of plants that are planted increased. thus, it will not have any influence on global warming.
Second, the article avers that producing ethanol would reduce the amount of plants which are the sources of food for animals. However, the professor says that the production of ethanol needs some part of plants called celliolance which is the cells in walls of the plants. According to professor this part of plants is not eaten by the animals and so to produce ethanol they just use some waste parts of these plants.
Third, the reading posits that the ethanol is not able to compete with gasolineone price. The professor opposes this point by explaining that it would be able to compete with gasoline without even the help of governemt. Base on the lecture, In creasing the production of ethanol will lead to drop the price of it and more ethanol would be available and so the price of the ethanol will drop up to fourty percent.
