The reading and listening passages were about the topic of alternative energy sources, mainly focusing on wave farms and their advantages and disadvantages. The author maintains that wave farms are a great form of alternative energy supporting their use whereas the lecturer disagrees. He stands to support that wind farms may not be completely advantageous and do hold some drawbacks.
To start with, the author mentions that wave farms are better for the environment as compared to the combustion of fossil fuels because they don't release carbon dioxide during the generation of power. The lecturer is quick to point out the flaw in this reasoning stating that while wave farms produce lower amounts of carbon dioxide they do release other harmful emissions that also harm the environment.
Secondly, the author states that wave farms provide reliable energy due to the predictability of waves as opposed to solar power which is heavily reliant on the sun, and ever-changing weather patterns, which disrupt the continuous generation of energy. Here, the lecturer disagrees and brings forth the point that wave farms do face technical errors due to dysfunctional generators that do not guarantee consistent output and hence make it an unreliable source of energy.
Thirdly, the author states that wave farms are far less disruptive to the environment because they employ buoy systems but fails to mention the other systems they employ. The lecturer takes this point forward and mentions the other systems they use such as water columns that are often noisy and have construction faults that may lead to small marine animals and plants getting entangled in them, causing just as much harm as any other form of energy
To conclude, both the author and lecturer have differing viewpoints on this topic of wave farms, a form of alternative energy, where the author supports wave farms and the lecturer disregards them
