Both reading and the lecturer are about the necessity of new strict rules for handling and storage of coal ash. The author of the reading passage feels that it is not necessary to impose new rules. However, the lecturer casts doubt on these claims. He thinks that, in fact, it is necessary to bring into effect the new rule.
First of all, the author argues that since the regulations already present, it is not part-and-parcel to bring new rules and regulations. The article mentions that in the existing rules, it is mentioned that companies are required to use liner in their coal ash disposal site (pond and landfill). This point is challenged by the lecturer. He says that the existing rules and regulations are not sufficient to prevent damage caused by coal ash. He additionally says that according to the existing rules, companies are required to use liner in new ponds and landfills, but not in existing ponds and landfills, which might contaminate the ground water, which people use for drinking, so it is necessary to change existing rules.
Secondly, the author argues that after imposing new rules and regulations, companies are discouraged to recycle coal ash to different products. In the article, it is mentioned that consumer feels apprehension about the recycled products because they feel recycled products are also pernicious. This point is rebutted by the speaker. He is of the opinion that consumer minds will not be changed after imposing new rules. He elaborates his opinion by citing an example of mercury. Mercury is a harmful substance, but the consumer is less concerned about the recycled products of mercury, so new rules will not discourage people.
Finally, the writer posits that there will be an increased in the cost, so that company is forced to increase the price of their products, which ultimately led to negative impacts on the public. In contrast, the author's opinion is, although new rules led to increase in the price of the goods, there is no significant increase in the price of the goods, only about a 1% increase in the price of the goods. He believes that consumers will be ready to pay a slightly higher price rather than to destroy the environment.
