▶ Your Answer :
According to the reading passage, wave farms have three benefits as an alternative energy source, while the lecturer argues that the reading passage is not correct.
First, wave-energy facilities are not predictable. To be specific, the facilities can cause malfunction, when there is disruption in marine environment. This contracts the reading passage that wave-farms are constant energy source, as they are accurately predictable.
Second of all, wave farms are not eco-friendly, as the floating convertors are contain harmful chemicals. Even though they do not generate pollutants or other harmful gasses like the other fuels, the turbines of convertors can damage water due to toxic chemicals. For this reason, the professor insist that wave-energy facilities have risks of water pollution.
Lastly, the speaker mentioned that wave farms have an impact on nature, visually. Generally, floating convertors are made of bright colors to make them visible. For example, they can be easily found by travelers, as they are too noticeable. This refutes the reading passage’s claim that wave-power convertors are not damage the landscape. |
