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 passage focus upon the replacement of combustion engine with hydrogen based fuel cell stating different advantages for the same. The lecturer feels that the maufacturers seems optmistic towards hydrogen based engine. She disagrees with all the advantages claimed by passage and casts doubt upon them stating three reasons.
First, according to text combustion engine is based on petroleum which can run out of stock in future. Moreover, hydrogen that can be used for the fuel purposes has many sources and can easily be available. In contrast, the monologue states that hydrogen is not easily available directly. It has to be extracted from natral gas and water. In addition the techonology used to store this pure hydrogen is not available, as it need higher cooling technology for storage.
Second, from author's point of view , hydrogen based fuel engine do not harm the enviornment as the only by product of this engine is water as compared to the internal combustion engine, which emits carbondioxide. Conversely, orater rebuks saying hydrogen usage enhances enviornmental pollution. Lot of energy is used to purify this component b;y buring coal and gas.
Lastly, the author of the passage claims that hyrogen fuel engine will be more economical in terms of money beacuse it is twice more efficient than the old combustion engine. In opposition, the speaker declares that hydrogen fuel cell engine are more expensive because its manufacturing is done by platinum component which is very expensive. So, cost will rise instead of decreasing.
These were the three counter points by speaker to cast doubt upon the passage and its claims.
