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 author of the reading passage and the professor both discuss the hydrogen-based fuel-cell engine, which uses hydrogen to generate electricity that drives the car. The author mentions that fuel-cell engines have several advantages over internal-combustion engines and will probably soon replace them. However, the professor discords with the ideas mentioned in the reading passage. He offers several reasons to oppose the argument of this article.
First of all, although in the article the author claims that hydrogen can be derived from sundry sufficient sources, including natural gas and even water. The fact that fuel-cell engines exploit easily available, sustainable resources makes them surprisingly enticing. The professor indicates that hydrogen needs a complicate cooling technology to produce and store. Therefore, the professor actually believes that hydrogen is not as easily available as the passage indicate.
Second, the author states that the only by product of fuel-cell engines is water. Therefore, using hydrogen-based fuel cells can resolve innumerable pollution issues around the world. However, the professor mentions that getting pure hydrogen from water or natural gas will consume more coal or oil. Thus, the professor can conclude that using hydrogen-based fuel cells can cause more pollution problem.
Finally, the author of the article indicates the efficiency of a fuel-cell automobile is more exceptional than an internal-combustion engine. Therefore, people will spend less money to operate a fuel-cell engine than they will to operate an internal-combustion engine. However, the professor points out that using fuel-cell engines will need a kind of limited and valuable metal. As a result, the professor contends that using fuel-cell engines won’t save people’s money.
