The lecturer disputes the idea presented in the reading that ethanol cannot be an alternative source of energy to gasoline. He asserts that ethanol has some advantages over gasoline in terms of it's positive effect on the environment. Furthermore, the cost of extracting ethanol to supply energy is most likely to decrease significantly in the future.
First, the lecturer argues that plants that produces ethanol reduces the greenhouse effect. The author claims that ethanol causes global warming because the extraction process results in an increase in temperature . However, the lecturer suggests that ethanol cannot have such effect because the producing plants consumes carbon dioxide from air and releases oxygen, which in turn, causes a reduction in the continuous increase in temperature on the surface of the earth.
Secondly, the lecturer states that using large amounts of plants to extract ethanol reduces the amount of food available for animals. On the other hand, the lecturer contends that ethanol is extracted from cellulose, which is a parts of the plants that animals do not eat. In reality, he confirms that other parts of the plants are available as good supply of food for animals. Thus, extraction of ethanol from plants does not tremendously affect the food supply to animals
Finally, the lecturer states that the cost of producing ethanol is not a big concern. He acknowledges that even though the cost of extracting ethanol is expensive at the moment. It is most likely to decrease once production increases. For instance, a three fold increase in production of ethanol for energy will result in a tremendous 40% reduction in price. Thus, the extraction of ethanol would not only be feasible, but also economical.
