▶ Topic : Wave farms will be increasingly common in the future. |

▶ Your Answer : The lecturer argues that advantges of wave farms are merely an illusion. This contradicts the reading passage's claim that wave energy facilities will be increasingly common in the future due to their many advantages.
First, the lecturer argues that wave farms can cause technical problems. This is because the converters used in harsh marine environments have breakdown issues and hence fluctuate. This casts doubt on the reading passage's claim that wave farms are reliable and can predict the generation capacity.
Second, the lecturer contends that wave farms are not environmentally friendly. Converters can emit harmful chemicals such as lubricants that are toxic to the ecosystem. These chemicals can even leak to the ocean. This counters the reading passage that wave energy facilities are not harmful to the atmosphere.
Finally, the lecturer points out that wave farms have a negative impact on the surrounding landscape. Converters are painted in bright colors, so they are easily spotted to the tourists walking by the sea shore. This refutes the reading passage's claim that wave farms are not easily detectable and do not have a negative impact on the landscape. |
