▶ Your Answer :
The author insists that wave farm can be a solution as
alternative energy. On the other hand, the lecturer brings up several ideas
that contradict the arguments and asserts that the argued advantages of wave
farm are just illusion.
First, the author contends that the dependable and constant
feature of wave-energy facilities can be easily dismissed. Because technology
is new, wave farm facilities can cause some problems when these are installed at
harsh marine environment. Sometimes
generators could be malfucntional. This casts doubt on the reading passage's
assertion that wave farms is reliable because wave is constant.
Second, the speaker argues that the the eco-friendly characteristic
of wave farms is not true. There are moving devices and turbines which need
chemical lubricant. So, that substance is highly toxic to marine organism. This
counters the reading passage's claim that wave farms do not have any harmful
pollutant at all.
Finally, the speaker asserts that floating convertors
negatively affect the surrounding scenery. The convertor are painted with
bright colors to be spoted by sipping vessels. Therefore, it is noticable to
the degree that tourists from near shore can see those. This rebuffs the
writers' point that wave-energy facilities is so small that those cannot harm
any on landscape.
