According to recent study data, greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuelbased
vehicles are a major contributor to global climate instability. One plan to
reduce greenhouse gases within the United States is to encourage the production
of corn-based ethanol fuels. Such “biofuels” burn cleaner and therefore
emit fewer harmful chemicals into the atmosphere. To encourage production,
financial incentives could be given to companies to make the switch to biofuel
technology.
Which of the following, if true, would cast the most doubt on the effectiveness
of the plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by encouraging the production
of corn-based fuels?
(A) Before any law is enacted to provide financial incentives to biofuel
companies, it must pass with a majority vote in both houses of
Congress.
(B) While ethanol currently makes up less than 4 percent of the motor fuel
used nationally, the corn used in ethanol production constitutes 14
percent of the domestic crop.
(C) Corn-based ethanol production increases food prices and consumes
large amounts of water.
(D) The fertilizer used in the cultivation of biofuel crops releases nitrous
oxide, a potent, long-lived greenhouse gas into the atmosphere.
(E) The scientific study of greenhouse gas emissions was conducted by
a university that received funding from prominent agricultural lobby
groups who would benefit greatly from new legislation.
