Car manufacturers and governments have been eagerly seeking a replacement for the automobile's main source of power, the internal-combustion engine. By far the most promising alternative source of energy for cars is the hydrogen-based fuel-cell engine, which uses hydrogen to create electricity that, in turn, powers the car. Fuel-cell engines have several advantages over internal-combustion engines and will probably soon replace them.
One of the main problems with the internal-combustion engine is that it relies on petroleum, either in the form of gasoline or diesel fuel. Petroleum is a finite resource; someday, we will run out of oil. The hydrogen needed for fuel-cell engines cannot easily be depleted. Hydrogen can be derived from various plentiful sources, including natural gas and even water. The fact that fuel-cell engines utilize easily available, renewable resources makes them particularly attractive.
Second, hydrogen-based fuel cells are attractive because they will solve many of the world's pollution problems. An unavoidable by-product of burning oil is carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide harms the environment. On the other hand, the only byproduct of fuel-cell engines is water.
Third, fuel-cell engines will soon be economically competitive because people will spend less money to operate a fuel-cell engine than they will to operate an internal-combustion engine. This is true for one simple reason: a fuel-cell automobile is nearly twice as efficient in using its fuel as an automobile powered by an internal-combustion engine is. In other words, the fuel-cell powered car requires only half the fuel energy that the internal-combustion powered car does to go the same distance.
Both reading and lecture are about a replacement for automobiles' source of energy. Based on the reading passage, the hydrogen-based fuel-cell engines are beneficial. But the lecturer takes a stance against the author's opinion by providing three reasons.
At first, the author mentions that internal-combustion engines depend on petroleum. Relying on the fact that petroleum is a finite source of power, someday, we will run out of oil. The author clarifies that hydrogen is renewable and infinite resources that can be used for fuel-cell engines. The lecturer puts forward that hydrogen is not as available as the author alludes to. The lecturer manifests that fuel-cell engines need pure and liquid hydrogen and obtaining this is difficult and it can not easily available.
Add to this, the author, in the reading, gives another explanation which is about another advantage of using hydrogen as a fuel of the engines, that is solving air pollution. The lecturer practically repudiates the claim of the context relying on this expression that achievement of pure hydrogen needs more energy which can obtain by burning oil. On the other hand, hydrogen can cause air pollution on the other way.
Finally, the author claims that the fuel-cell engine uses less fuel, obviously, it is not expensive. However, the lecturer sheds light on the premise that using hydrogen can not be a way of saving costs. It is a momentous fact that manufacturing pure and liquid hydrogen is so expensive, so using hydrogen is not benefit economically.
