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. They 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 states the advantages about internal-combustion engine powered by hydrogen. Instead, the lecture opposed it since those benefits are inaccurate and unrealistic.
First, the reading claims that hydrogen is finite and can solve the problem shortage of gasoline and diesel fuel. Meanwhile neither the hydrogen is very easy to be produced nor to be stored effortless declared by the lecture. The hydrogen has to be obtained by human-made pure water and stored in a extreme cold environment which can reduce the practicality of the use of internal-combustion.
Albeit the reading believes hydrogen can eliminate the pollution issue caused by unclear resources, the lecture rebuts it by the generating process of hydrogen can only cause more pollution. Burning coal and oil are needed when producing hydrogen, and the storing conditions mentioned before also waste many energy. The hydrogen cannot solve the pollution problem.
Lastly, the reading declares the hydrogen can diminish the cost. The lecture refutes it since the manufacturing steps need the participation of rare metal and cannot be replaced by any other cheaper material. Though the hydrogen is more efficient, it is still useless.
