The author describes that ethanol fuel is not a good replacement for gasoline and provides three reasons to support this claim. On the other hand, the professor explains that ethanol fuel is a good alternative to gasoline and none of the points mentioned in the passage is convincing. He refutes each of the author's viewpoints on the rational grounds.
First of all, the writer states that the increasing use of ethanol fuel would not help to solve the global warming caused by gasoline use. Nevertheless, the speaker points out that utilizing ethanol fuel will not add carbon dioxide and intensify the global warming. In fact, ethanol fuel is made from the plants, such as corn, which the process of growing the plants leads to the decreasing of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. To be more specific, the corn plant absorbs air in order to gain nutrition and in this way remove the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Second, according to the reading, the production of a large amount of ethanol would dramatically reduce the number of plants available for uses other fuel; besides, a substantial source of the food for animals would disappear. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that producing ethanol fuel has nothing to do with the reducing of the food for animals. As a matter of fact, ethanol fuel is being produced by using cellulose, which is a part of the plant that is not eaten by animals. Therefore, the production of ethanol fuel has no influence on the reduction of the animal's population.
Third, the reading expresses that ethanol fuel will never compete with gasoline on price and if the United States government were to stop helping producers, the price of ethanol would increase greatly. However, the speaker posits that ethanol fuel can be able to compete with gasoline on price. More precisely, it is true that the tax subsidies cause the ethanol fuel price to be cheaper, but this support would not always be needed. As a case in point, if the people start using ethanol fuel, the production of that will be increased which leads to the dropping of the ethanol price; by doing so, the ethanol fuel becomes more available. In other words, if the production of the ethanol fuel becomes three times greater than it is now, the cost of that will drop by around 40 percent.
