Both reading and lecture discuss whether it is good to have new and stricter rules for companies which burn coals. Based on reading, representatives of power companies state some reasons against these new regulations. However, the speaker refutes each of the author's reasons and casts doubt on them.
First, the passage declares that these companies have liners that protect the environment by which they prevent the coal ash to go through the water. The professor on the other hand, mentions that companies have to have these lines only when they want to build new fields and there are still many old fields that do not have these lines. Therefore, these lines should be added to both old and new fields.
Second, the reading mentions that having too many strict rules may discourage and frighten people to buy recycle material related to the coal ash. In contrast, the professor explains that based on experience, which she gives an example for, people tend to buy these material even if they that they are hazardous and toxic.
Third, the reading reveals that legislating these new rules will eventually increase the cost too much and therefore, the price of electricity will increase, since the companies would be forced to do that, which consumers will not be satisfied about that. Again, the lecturer disagrees, says that although it will add to the cost, the final cost for consumers will just increase one percent which worth to pay for having a clear environment.
In conclusion, we can see that although the reading argues in favor of not having new stricter rules, the lecture points out some serious drawbacks to what has been elaborated by companies' representatives.
