Car manufacturers and governments have been eagerly seeking a replacement for the automobile’s main source of power, the internal-combustion engines. 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 engines 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 by-product 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.
The reading states that car manufactures and governments are going to replace the automobile's main source of power, the internal-combustion engine, and one of the most promising alternative source is the use of hydrogen to produce electricity in fuel-cell engine. However, the lecturer finds all the ideas dubious and presents some evidence to refute them all.
First, the author argues that the internal-combustion engine depend on petroleum, other form of gasoline or diesel fuel. These natural sources of energy are finite and in a near future will finish, but the use of hydrogen can solve this problem. There are various plentiful sources of Hydrogen like natural gas and water. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that hydrogen is not easily accessible and the process of hydrogen purification needs a high- tech knowledge and instruments for obtaining pure liquid state and its store.
Furthermore, the reading passage holds the view that the main by- product of hydrogen usage is water, while by burning the oil, carbon dioxide is producing that will increase the world's pollution problems. On the contrary, the professor underlines the fact that the factories to pure hydrogen must use the coal and oil, and this may generate more pollution.
Finally, the reading asserts that a fuel-cell engine is more efficient in using its fuel than an internal-combustion engine and to go the same distance these engines use little amount of their fuel. In contrast, the speaker dismisses this issue due to the fact that in a fuel- cell engine to produce the electricity by hydrogen, the pieces of platinum are used that are very expensive and rare.
