The reading mainly talks about that the new regulations of coal ash are unnecessary. However, the listening challenges what are stated in the passage by providing three strong reasons.
Firstly, in the reading, it is said that effective environmental regulations already exist. In contrast, the listening holds a view that the regulations we have now are not sufficient. For example, the harmful chemicals from coal ash leaked into groundwater and contaminated drinking water. So we need stricter new rules to prevent environmental damage at all coal ash disposal sites.
Secondly, the passage asserts that creating too strict rules for storing and dealing with coal ash might discourage the recycling of it into other products. However, the professor maintains the opposite opinion that stricter rules do not mean that consumers will not use recycled coal ash products anymore. Take mercury as an example, it has been successfully and safely recycled for over 50 years, and it receives little concerns.
Finally, the author of the reading passage believes that strict new regulations would increase the cost of disposal and handling coal ash for the power companies. On the other hand, the professor disagrees it with the point that the result is worth the extra cost. To state it more clearly, the professor says that it would increase the average consumer’s electricity bill by only about one percent, which is acceptable to have a cleaner environment.
