The main idea of both the reading and the lecturer is about the rules for handling and disposing harmful waste product of burning coal in power plants named coal ash. Although the reading mentions that regulating strict rules is not efficient, the lecturer strongly agrees that it is necessary to enact strong rules to prevent environmental damages and categorically refuses the reasons mentioned in the reading.
First off, the reading states that there are already several rules to prevent contamination of ponds and landfills using liners. However, the lecturer posits that the rules we already have are not enough to pursue and the liners are merely used by new landfills and ponds. Meanwhile, the old landfills and ponds are not benefited from these liners. Overall, the contamination would leak into the underground waters and pollute whole water. Thus, some strict rules should be enacted to prevent polluting both new and old landfills.
Furthermore, the reading mentions that customers may stop buying coal ash to use for recycling and producing other useful materials since they find them dangerous. On the other hand, the lecturer explains that new regulations do not necessarily stop people using this product for recycle. According to the lecturer, people will get used to them like other harmful chemicals such as Mercury which is being handed and disposed for almost 50 years successfully, and they are still in use and trade.
Eventually, the reading states that the new rules would be costly. In contrast, the lecturer mentions that however the expense are too much, the results will worth it. According to the research, the cost of strict regulations would be 15 billion dollars. But if one compares this number with the cost of average house holding electricity which is one percent of that cost, he will realize that it would be worthwhile to enact new rules.
