Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they challenge the specific arguments presented in the reading passage
The reading passage discusses the views of representatives of power companies regarding new and stricter regulations for dealing and storing of coal ash. The lecturer, however, refutes the reasons and believes these suggestions are inaccurate and wrong.
First the reading suggests that effective regulations are currently at use and there is no need for new regulations. In contrast the lecturer maintains that the existing regulations are not effective enough. For example in power plants, liner, which is a very dangerous material, is required to be used in the new pond or land fill but not in the old sites. As a result coal ash will leak to the ground and contaminate drinking water. She suggests that rules must be applied to all sites regardless of being old or new.
Second the reading thinks that new rules will discourage other companies to recycle coal ash into new products. It might give the feeling that coal ash is a hazardous material. Conversely the lecturer believes that new rules will not stop others from using coal ash. She offers that other companies use mercury which is a very dangerous material and despite there are strict rules about it, it is being used safely for 50 years. she thinks that consumers won't fear.
Finally the reading believes that new regulations will increase the cost of electricity for power companies and hence the general public. Conversely the lecturer thinks that cost for end users will not increase dramatically. She states that the increased overall cost for companies will be about 15 million dollars but it will totally worth the price since it will be divided through general public and the amount of increase will be about 1 percent for every family. She believes that it is not a big price for having a clean environment.
