Based on the reading material, it is stated that there are 3 viable reasons for critics to reject ethanol as a replacement for gasoline. However, the lecturer finds this idea bereft of sufficient reasoning and presents some ideas to the contrary.
Initially, the author argued that the use of ethanol as a substitute for gasoline would not be a good solution for global warming. That being said, the lecturer repudiated this idea by clarifying that the use of ethanol will not increase the amount of global warming. Ethanol is made of plants, like corn and sugar cane, and plants absorb carbon dioxide from the athmosphere in order to photosynthesis. By planting more corn and sugar cane, more carbon dioxide can be absorbed from the atmosphere and thus, the amount of global warming can be managed.
Another point mentioned by the author was that the production of ethanol would decrease dramatically the amount of plants available for animals. However, the lecturer rejected this one too by stating that ethanol can be produced by cellulose, a combination of plant cell walls. The cellulose is not eaten by animals. So, by producing ethanol from cellulose, the amount of plants for feeding animals would not been declined.
The final point advanced in the reading passage was that ethanol will never be able to compete with gasoline in price, and if the US government stop tax subsidies, the price of ethanol will increase. Yet again, the lecturer casted doubt on this idea. He said that as the production of ethanol will be increased in the future, it will be more available and its price will be decreased. Thus, in the future, people can expect that the price of ethanol will drop by 40 percents, because the use of ethanol will be increased three times.
