handling and storing coal ash
TPO 42
Both the author and the lecturer discuss whether creating new regulations for handling and storing coal ash is necessary or not. The passage claims new regulations are unnecessary and might actually have negative consequences. The professor, on the other hand, completely reject whatever mentioned in the reading through citing three reasons.
First, both the author and the professor talk about existing regulations. According to the passage, effective environmental regulations already exist. For example, companies that dispose of coal ash in disposal ponds or landfills use liner in every new pond or landfill they build. The lecturer, nevertheless, rejects the author's view and illustrates the idea that liner is using only in new lands, while companies pose significant damage to old lands. For example, coal ash contaminated drinking water that caused environmental damage.
Second of all, both the reading and the lecture discuss recycling coal ash. The author argues that if new stricter rule are adopted for handling coal ash, consumers may become concerned that recycled coal ash products are just too dangerous, and may stop buying the products. However, the professor refutes this, saying that new regulations do not lead to a halt in buying the products. For example, government created new regulations about mercury that has become successful since 50 years ago.
Eventually, the passage and the lecture address the subject of cost. The passage goes on to mention that strict new regulations would result in an increase in disposal and handling costs for the power companies. In contrast, the professor points out that power companies make 15 billion dollars and they pay the bill just one percent more than that in the past for cleaning environment that is very negligible.
All in all, the author maintains that it is unnecessary to take strict regulation for handling and storing coal ash, while the professor not only completely cast doubt on it but he also demonstrates that strict new regulation is essential for protecting environment.
