The article states that the new regulations are unnecessary and might have negative consequences and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that we definitely need stricter regulations and refutes each of the author's reasons.
First, the reading claims that environmental regulation already exists. The professor opposes this point by saying that the regulation that now exists is not sufficient. She states that the current regulation is only applied to new ponds or landfills and it is not applied to the old ones. She provides an example of an old pond that is leaked and contaminated the water to illustrate this. She explains that they have to use the regulation in all sites to solve the problem.
Second, the author posits that creating the strict rules would discourage the recycling of coal ash into other products because of its negative impacts on consumers. Nevertheless, the professor contends that creating these kinds of rules would not necessarily cause consumers to stop using them. She provides an example of mercury to explain this. She set forth the fact that although mercury subjected to some strict regulation for handling it, consumers still use it after fifty years. According to the professor, it is unlikely that strict rules decrease the use of coal ash.
Third, the article avers that strict regulation would increase the cost for power companies and as a result the price of electricity. The professor refutes this point by stating that it is true that it would increase the costs for these companies but it is well-worth. The costs for the companies would increase about fifty billion dollars. Based on the lecture, this would increases the costs about one percent for the general public which would not be a big price for having clean environment.
