Tittle: Biofuels are not a good alternate fuel
Specific Speech Purpose: I want to persuade my audience that biofuels are not a good alternate fuel, that they are causing a more negative than positive impact.
Thesis Statement: Biofuels are one of the major contributors of deforestation, they are slowly increasing food prices, are causing more water problems, and cause dangerous fertilization runoff which make them a non-reliable source.
Introduction:
I. Nowadays, a major concern is the emission of greenhouse gases and their contribution to pollution and global warming. Biofuels, fuels derived directly from living matter, hold a promise to reduce greenhouse gas emission.
II. Unfortunately, although they are seen as a great alternate fuel for gasoline and diesel, it is causing more negative impacts.
III. …show more content…
Transition: The high demand for the foods grown in these crops has the potential to alter food prices.
II. Bioethanol is made from corn and sugar and is used as a substitute for gasoline. Biodiesel is made from rapeseed, sunflower, and palm oil and is used as a substitute for diesel. The foods used to make these biofuels have the ability to increase food prices.
A. Corn for example is in high demand because it is used to produce biofuel and corn prices are slowly escalating.
1) “The…increase demand for corn, for example can pose a threat to some regions’ food security, or the access to affordable nutritious food for the regions’ population,” Cunningham states.
2) This will soon push towards the intensification of livestock production.
B. As farmers choose livestock over corn, a domino effect will occur.
1) For example, most of the corn will be used for biofuels so cron price will increase and pig farmers will then pay more for corn to feed their pigs.
2) This will soon lead to higher pork products/food prices to make
