In this set of material, the reading passage claims that burning coal in power plants creates a waste product called coal ash. It is a lost material with harmful chemical; hence environmentalist believe that the government should set much strict regulations for managing and saving coal ash, but power companies are opposite with these regulations. The reading brings up three reasons that these companies are opposite with this idea and supports them. On the other hand the professor finds all reasons dubious and provides some evidence to advocate these regulations. In fact the information the professor provides contradicts the outlined in the reading passage.
First, the reading passage declares that protection rules have already existed like using liner (this material does not allow to contaminate soil with coal ash), so companies are forced to use liner in new pond or landfill, in contrast the lecture argues that the regulations have not been sufficient so far. Also the professor believes that older sites are being threatened by coal ash. Those sites can contaminate fresh water.
Second, the author of reading contends that the strict regulations can motivate costumers not to buy coal products due to its dangers, on the contrary, the professor says that people do not need to stop buying these types of products, they can adapt to these regulations. For instance the mercury- is a very harmful material for human- is being recycled for several years and people use it; hence this excuse of companies is illogical.
Third, the reading proposes that government's regulations for handling and saving coal ash can very expensive, conversely the lecture expresses that it is worth and it may be as much as 50 billion dollar, however with doing a simple math, companies will understand that the average of selling the coal products is high for every person, so it is not comparable with costs' of protection.
