This set of material focuses on the debate over setting stricter regulations for handling and storing coal ash. The author has negative attitude toward the regulations and supports the idea by three possible reasons. While, the speaker casts doubt on them and says definitely setting stricter regulations is needed to decrease the negative consequences of coal ash. She provides strong reasons to clarify her idea .
First, the author claims that sort of regulations already exist. However, the professor states that the existed ones are not sufficient. She describes it more by adding that the regulations make companies to use liner for their new landfill and new ponds. But we should know that the companies do not need any new landill and ponds. We should be aware that the polluted leakage from the old landfills will pollute undergroundwater. So, stricter regulations must be set to include both old and new ponds and landfills.
Second, the essay holds that the regulation will discourage companies which recylce coal ash to other products. Conversely, the lecturer argues that it will not necessarily discourage them. To explain the idea more, she exemplifies Mercury as one of the most harmful products. Recycilg regulations in the case of Mercury did not horrify people to change to another product and for years they have been recycling mercury safely and successfully. Therefore, they will not be afraid of the harms of the coal ash, too.
Third, the writer demonstrates that setting stricter rules will increase costs. The professor admits the point of view by saying that it is true that it will increase the costs, however, she believes that the increase is well worth to costs. The regulation will save around 15 billion dollars in the industry. Also the price of electericity will increase around 1 percent per household which is not too much.
