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 claims that Hydrogen fuel-cell engines are a good alternative for natural combustion engines in cars by having the properties of easy availability, pollution safe, affordability and less fuel utilization. However, the lecturer refutes all these arguments in the reading.

First, the professor in the lecture points out that, even if the hydrogen is available easily, it cannot be used in the excavated form. To be used in the automobiles this gas should be in a pure liquid state. She adds that pure hydrogen is a highly artificial substance and it needs -250degreeC to store it. So according to her, it's not practical and needs an immense amount of money to build the lab setting for the storage of the same.

Next, water and natural gas are the easiest sources of hydrogen, the purification industry has to use coal and oil for the separation of pure hydrogen. This will contribute to the pollution crisis to the environment which may sometimes exceed the pollution made by cars using petroleum and diesel.

Last, sophisticated industrial settings are no longer a cost-efficient alternative to internal-combustion engines. She argues that a rare metal Platinum acts as a catalyst for the chemical reaction to power the engines. Furthermore, both the excavations of Platinum and purification of the Hydrogen surpass the cost of digging of petroleum.
