The lecturer disputes the idea presented in the reading that their are sufficient rules and regulations for the disposal and handling of coal ash waste products. The lecturer asserts that more strict rules will result in a cleaner environment without significant extra cost on consumers of electricity.
First, the lecturer argues there should be strict rules on new as well as old ponds and land field disposal areas. The lecturer acknowledges that there are regulations to use liners in new pond and landfill. However, the lecturer states that old built ponds and landfills must also have strict regulation in order to prevent the leakage of coal ash waste product. For example, the latest leakage of ash products waste into the drinking water makes us obliged to implement those strict regulations.
Second, the lecturer argues that strict regulations will not prevent consumers from buying coal ash recycled waste products. The lecturer gives an example of another dangerous product which mercury. The strict rules of handling and disposal of mercury did not have any effect on consumers buying mercury recycled products.
Finally, the lecturer argues that strict rules on handling and disposal of coal ash waste product won't significantly increase the cost of electricity on consumers. The author argues that implementing strict regulation will result in an a significant additional cost on the consumers. On the other hand, the lecturer state the total increase in bill is around 15 billion dollars. If we divide this amount on the total consumers of electricity, it will result in only one dollar increase in each bill. Thus, it is worth protecting the environment for this small additional cost.
