TPO-09 - Integrated Writing Task
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 halfthe fuel energy that the internal-combustion powered car does to go the same distance.
The article states that replacing internal combustion engines that use oil as a source of power with hydrogen-based fuel cell engines is more beneficial. And provides three reasons for support, However, the professor explains that it agree with idea that oil-based engines are harmfull but it claims that hydrogen-based fuel cell engines are not the solution and refutes each of the author's reasons.
First, the reading claims that hydrogen resources are unlimited and easily found in nature. The professor refutes this point by saying that hydrogen not easily extracted and many resources are not usable, she explains that hydrogen need a very cool condition and difficult artificial technique to convert it to pure liquid.
Second, the article posits that by using hydrogen this will reduce the pollution of the environment as the waste product is water. The professor says that the manufacturing for purification of hydrogen needs a huge amount of oil that's eventually lead to significant pollution risk.
Third, the reading says that hydrogen fuel is economically effective and people will spend a lower amount of money than oil, The professor opposes this point by explaining that the process for produce cells needs platinum as a component for it which is an expensive material.
In conclusion, although the reading and lecture are both about hydrogen-based fuel cell engine, the three main points made in reading are effectively challenged by the lecturer.
