▶ Your Answer :In the reading passage, there is ample support for the author's claim that wave energy will be the common alternative energy source in the future. However, the professor in the lecture gives several reasons as a rebuttal for the reading passage. To begin with, the professor insists that the production of the wave-farm is reliable is highly doubtful. It is true that measuring the annual energy production is predictable. However, there is one big critical problem. The technological problem will hamper the constant energy supply. Furthermore, the wave power plant is the state-of-the-art technology, therefore, the unanticipated break of this machine will make higher changes in the aspect of accurate prediction. This cast doubts on the reading passage's claim that the energy from the wave power plant generates reliable, since the same seasonal variations. Next, the professor contends that it is implausible that wave-farm is eco-friendly. Since there are chemical materials in the wave-farms they could affect the ocean eco-system. For example, part of the turbine is highly noxious. Therefore, once the harmful toxic leaks into the ocean, it must devastate the marine environments. This counters the reading passage's claim that the absence of the burning fuels in the wave-farm will not make any pollutions its nearby surroundings. Finally, the professor argues that the wave-farm actually cause negative effects on the natural scenery. Wave-farms have to look bigger than itself and be painted. This is because the passing ships must easily recognize them in order to avoid the crush. Also, these noticeable power plants are placed in the near the beach, shore. This refutes the reading passage's claim that wave-power converts will not destroy the natural beauty since they are small and below the water in contrast to the monolithic coal and nuclear power plants.
