TOEFL integrated writing: fuel-cell engines

The reading discusses hydrogen fuel cells as an alternative to petroleum used currently in internal-combustion engines and provides three reasons. However, the speaker thinks the reading is too optimistic and opposes each benefit mentioned in the reading.

First, the reading states that the internal-combustion engines rely on a finite source of energy, but the hydrogen needed for hydrogen fuel cells is hard to deplete. The professor explains that hydrogen cannot be used as its natural form directly and needs a process to make it liquid. She also mentions that hydrogen should be preserved in a special condition and temperature.

Second, the reading states that using hydrogen will solve world pollution problems. The speaker disagrees this statement because she believes that hydrogen purification process causes a lot of air pollution.

Third, the reading says that fuel-cell engines will soon become economically competitive but the professor explains that since hydrogen fuel-cells need platinum to convert chemical energy into electricity, and platinum is a costly material, this engine cannot become a competitive alternative soon. She asserts that until now no replacement is found for platinum.
