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. .
The reading passage suggests that the fuel-cell engines will soon replace internal-combustion engines because of many advantages, whereas the professor believes that the passage is too optimistic about it and the fuel-cell engine would not be the solution of the problems which internal-combustion engines caused.
To begin with, the reading indicates that the hydrogen needed for the fuel-cell engines is easily available and renewable. The professor, however, argues that the resource that fuel-cell engines utilize is not such available, because the hydrogen is difficult to produce and store. Hydrogen need to be obtained form pure sources and to be stored under an extreme low temperature which makes it not so available as the passage claims.
Furthermore, the author of the reading claims that hydrogen-based fuel cells can solve many of the world's pollution problems, because burning hydrogen only produces water without carbon dioxide, which is harmful to our environment. In contrast, the professor suggests it would not solve the pollution problem, as the procedure of producing hydrogen for fuel-cell engines need a lot of energy from the burning of coals or oil, which would produce pollution. Although the cars using the hydrogen-based fuel-cell engines don't produce pollution, the factory which produce hydrogen would.
Finally, the writer claims that people spend less money to operate a fuel-cell engine on the basis evidence that a fuel-cell automobile is nearly twice as efficient in using its fuel as an internal combustion engine automobile. On the contrary, the professor indicates that it's not that cheap to manufacture a fuel-cell engine due to the fact that it uses Platinum, a kind of rare metal and the necessity of the chemical reaction between the fuel, to produce a fuel-cell engine, which would cost a lot of money.
