The reading states that new regulation for coal ash is not necessary and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that new rules are required and refutes each of the author's reasons.
First, the reading states that rules are already exist. The professor refutes this point by saying that current rules are not sufficient. For example using liner is just required for new company and old power plant building do not use liner. It causes many problems such as mixing harmful chemical into water. She states that using liner should be a rule for all new and old company.
Second, the article claims that strict rules discourage the recycling of coal ash. The professor opposes this point by stating that establishing new rules does not necessarily mean people would stop using such products. For instance, mercury, which is a hazardous material, is under strict regulation. However, these strict rules have been successful and people have had few concerns about i. She also added that people do not afraid to use them.
Third, the article states that new regulation will increase the cost for power companies, which eventuate in increasing cost for costumers. The professor disagrees and explains that with new regulations the cost will definitely increase but the result worth the cost. A company will spend 50 billion dollar for new implantation, which seems a lot. Despite this fact, the final cost for customer will increase just about one percent, which worth for having cleaner environment.
