In this set of materials, the reading passage argues that new regulations for handling and storing coal ash is unnecessary. However, the lecturer finds all the idea dubious and provides some reason to refute them all.
First of all, the author of the passage claims that existing is enough to prevent environmental damage. On the contrary, the professor contends that current regulations force companies to use liner material when they dispose them to new ponds and lands. Stricter regulation is needed to make them use it when they discard them in old location because they can leak to drink water and contaminate it. Therefore, current law is not sufficient.
Furthermore, it is mentioned in the passage that consumer will stop using recycled products of coal ash because they consider them as dangerous materials. Conversely, the lecturer believes that if we look at other hazardous materials such as mercury, we can see that for more than 50 years, handling and storing of mercury were strict but people buy recycled items. Hence, people will not get afraid of recycled goods.
Finally, the reading asserts that new regulations will increase the cost for power companies and the result is higher price of electricity for general public. In contrast, the lecturer states that although this state is true, it increases the price of it just one percent which is not too much for people. Thus, the cost is not a convincing reason to do not regulate new rules.
