Are Fuel Cell Cars Coming?- Critical Reflection

After writing this essay, it is entertaining how long I have gone without interpreting that article can be this similar but for different audiences. For example, I have had to do extensive research for a capstone project and never really used two articles with similar sources. Now I learned how to find and link a study and a simplified article, which can be very useful when doing research and presenting your findings. As well as learning more about interpreting articles and studies rhetorically instead of just reading them over and giving a summary.

Both of my articles were about how data and studies today suggest that hydrogen fuel cell cars will be the main automobile in the future. This is based on information on efficiency of gasoline and hybrid cars today, and the very small evidence on the efficiency of fuel cell cars. This is said through gasoline powered cars being the worst since it’s burning fossil fuels. Then they both talk about hybrid and electric cars. Electric cars can be considered the most efficient, but they burn fossil fuels to provide energy to charge the cars. And hybrid cars are quite efficient as they have regenerative charging methods so they only run on gas very briefly, and when they are, it’s charging the battery. Over the years, fuel cell technology has increased, and now it is to the point where both studies are being ran to determine whether fuel cell cars are the future. But both the article and the study used very similar sources to come to their own similar yet unique conclusions. Their conclusions are unique simply because the study’s conclusion is written for scientists to understand, and the article is written for the general public to understand. So if you can understand both the article and the study, you can interpret how similar they both are to each other.
