The reading and the listening passages are both about ethanol fuel, which made from plants such as corn. While the reading passage argues that ethanol is not a good replacement for gasoline, the lecturer casts doubt on each point.
First of all, the author mentions that ethanol offers no environmental advantage offer gasoline because it releases carbon dioxide which leads to global warming. The professor rebuts this argue by stating it helps to remove carbon dioxide because ethanol is made from plants. Moreover, the process of producing carbon dioxide is counteracted by planting corns because it will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Secondly, the writer mentions that if ethanol would be used, a substantial source of food for animals such as cows and chicken would disappear. The professor refutes this point. He says that ethanol is produced from not eaten parts of plants, which is cellulose. Also, they use it to produce ethanol. Therefore, it would not affect animals’ food.
Finally, the reading passage points out that the ethanol would increase greatly if the government stop helping producers. Moreover, the price of ethanol will never compete with gasoline. In contrast, the lecturer contends that the price now is similar to gasoline because people do not use ethanol. If people start to use ethanol, the process would decrease and compete for gasoline. Also, he adds that according to study the prices of ethanol would decrease 3 times if production of ethanol increased by 40%.
To conclude, the professor clearly debunks all the points that the author made on the reading passage.
