TPO 22
Both the reading and the lecture discuss whether ethanol fuel can be an alternative to gasoline or not. The reading implies that ethanol can not be an alternative to gasoline. However, the professor strongly disagrees with the reading. Accordingly, he presents three refutations.
First of all, the reading passage mentions that the increased use of ethanol fuel would not help solve global warming caused by gasoline use. Yet, the lecturer severely contradicts this theory by contending that ethanol fuel will not add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Actually, growing the corn, the material of ethanol fuel, will absorb carbon dioxide. As a result, the first theory is not convincing at all.
Secondly, the passage indicates that the production of significant amounts of ethanol would dramatically reduce the amount of plants available for uses other fuel. Nonetheless, the speaker seriously challenges this statement by arguing that ethanol fuel will not reduce the food of animals. Also, ethanol fuel can be made by certain part of the plant that animals do not eat it. Hence, the production of ethanol will not reduce the amount of plants available for uses other fuel.
Last but not least, the reading suggests that ethanol will never be able to compete with gasoline on price. Once again, the scholar opposes this hypothesis because the price of the ethanol will drop if the productivity increases. Furthermore, if more than three times of people use ethanol in the future, the price of ethanol will drop by forty percent. In other words, ethanol will be able to compete with gasoline on price in the future.
In conclusion, the professor argues each theory in the reading. That is to say, he maintains that ethanol fuel can be an alternative to gasoline.
