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 the reading and lecture discuss about the replacement of the internal-combustion engine by using hydrogen-based fuel cell engine, renewable sources of energy. The former argues that fuel cell engine numerous merit than internal-combustion, and provides three reasons to support, but latter challenges each of these points.
First of all, the author of the passage asserts that hydrogen fuel cell engine can easily extract from water and natural gas, and replaced the exhaustible resources. However, the professor in the lecture counters that this method will not work because hydrogen cannot be easily available, and to obtain pure hydrogen liquid, it has to go through different process which needs artificial technologies. To store such processed hydrogen it has to store in lab having a temperature 253 degree Celsius, which is quite costly and impractical.
Secondly, according to the passage, expert opined that hydrogen- fuel cell engine act as remedies to solve the problems of noxious gases emit out from internal-combusion engine, as its byproduct is water. In contrast, the lecture strongly objects this idea. She supports her argument by presenting the example of purification of hydrogen gas, which is impossible without burning oil and coals. The factories which produces pure hydogen needs burning fuels and oil, which directly generated the green house gases.
