▶ Your Answer :
The lecturer argues that the positive aspects
of the wave energy are merely illusion. This contradicts the reading passage’s
claim that the wave energy has the potential to replace the fossil fuel in the
future due to the advantages it possesses.
To begin with, the professor contends that
the technology problem makes the wave farm fail to be constant and predictable.
This is because the new technology is not reliable so it is easily breakdown.
Moreover, the power fluctuates widely. This casts doubt on the reading, which
states that the energy farm is reliable and able to accurately predict due to
the stable pattern and well-organized documents.
In addition, the lecturer asserts that the
wave-energy facilities can also damage the environment. Since the wave energy
facilities are floating on the ocean, these harm the ocean ecosystem. On top of
that, the chemicals that released by the wave farms that generate turbines to
move are extremely toxic and adverse to the organism habits in the ocean. Thus,
if the chemicals leak, then the ecosystem of ocean will be severely damaged.
This rebuts the reading passage’s claim that the wave energy is environmental
friendly because there are no substances that provide harmful effects to the
earth.
Finally, the speaker contends that the energy
farms are not visually favorable. Mostly, the energy farms that placed under
the water are clearly visible due to the bright color which are detectable.
Furthermore, the wave energy facilities that built near the shore can be easily
seen by the visitors who tour the beach. This directly refutes the reading
passage’s claim that wave farms have no negative impact to the beauty of the
area and landscapes.
