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 accounts the advantages of hydrogen fuel cell over internal combustion engine, while the lecture acknowledges that although internal combustion engine has some drawbacks, the hydrogen fuel cell would not be an effective solution that the reading claims in the passage.
First, the lecturer refutes the idea of availability of the raw material- hydrogen; he says that hydrogen found easily in the environment and water that is not usable, in fact, it needs to convert into a pure liquid form which is an artificial chemical. Furthermore, a difficult process is associated to the conversion of raw hydrogen gas to liquid hydrogen. He adds that preservation of liquid hydrogen at -253 oC is quite difficult and costly.
Second, the speaker argues that hydrogen fuel cell is eco-friendly. Moreover, even though hydrogen can't cause pollution, its purification process requires lots of energy and the burning of coal and oil which can cause significant pollution in the environment -according to the speaker.
Third, the hydrogen fuel cell is cost-effective and more efficient than traditional combustion engine which needs less fuel to run the engine, the author claims. However, the lecturer refutes the idea by saying that hydrogen fuel cell contains rare and expensive metal - platinum. Therefore, without platinum fuel cell does not run and the cheap metal is not used as effective as platinum. He claims that all those stuff makes the fuel cell more expensive than the combustion engine.
