First, the professor explains that hydrogen is not available everywhere ready to use in an internal combustion engine.

However, the text affirms that the new hydrogen cars will solve the pollution mad from carbon dioxide as a byproduct from burning oil.

Finally, the professor explains that the new technology is not a cost competitive since the hydrogen fuel cars’ component are made from platinum, which is a rare, very expensive element. She also added that all the effort to replace platinum with a cheaper element wasn't successful. On the other hand, the text assures that the new car will be cheaper because it uses less than half of the fuel that the old car use.
