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 halfthe fuel energy that the internal-combustion powered car does to go the same distance.
The reading states that the fuel cell engines which uses hydrogen are better that current fuels for cars and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that it is true that petroleum is finite source and it will finish soon but the hydrogen fuels are not a good solution for this problem and he opposes each of the author's reasons.
First, the reading claims that hydrogen based fuels are better because petroleum is a finite sorce and hydrogen is derived from various plentiful sources. The professor says that although Petroleum is a finite source, the hydrogen is not easily obtained. He also mentioned that producing hydrogen is technologically difficult and it needs to be in a environment with -43 degree.
Second, the article posits that hydrogen-based fuel cells will solve the pollution problem. However, the professor refutes this point by saying that producing hydrogen make lots of pollutant. According to professor it needs a lot of energy and lots of coil and oil are burnt to produce this hydrogen and the factories that produce hydrogen pollutant air a lot.
Third, the reading avers that using this kind of fuel help to save lots of money.The professor explains that manufacoring hydrogen is an expensive process. We also learn that this process needs platinium which is really expensive and it may cost more money to produce.
