The reading and the lecture are discussing about the necessity of new regulations regarding the disposal of coal ash a byproduct of power plants. The author of the reading believes that there is no need for issuing another regulation because the existing rules are sufficient. However the lecture casts doubt on the claims made by the author by stating that regulations need to be changed and be enforced.
Firstly the author of the passage points that liner special materials is used for every new pond or landfill to prevent the coal gas escape to soil. It also mentions that regulations already exist and old ones need not be changed with new liners.The lecturer challenges this statement. She states that old liners are leaking and coal ash is seeping to the groundwater. Consequently, polluting the water for drinking. Hence, she argues that old as well as new pond needs liner special materials to prevent contamination of groundwater.
Secondly, the author contends that if new regulations are imposed there will be a decline in the selling of recycled coal ash product . The recycled coal ash is being used for building material such as bricks and concrete. She claims that consumers get concerned with this and there would be discouraged to purchase. The lecturer rebuts this statement. She posits that another hazardous material like mercury was being similarly given new regulations regarding its disposal and consumers where not affected. They were not hesitant to buy recycled mercury products in any way.
Finally, the author coveys that there would be more expensive or the power plant companies to dispose and handle the coal ash if new regulations are established. The cost will be ten times greater. Subsequently, the cost for electricity will be raised by the companies and will be not affordable for the public.This is contradicted by the lecturer. She states that cost will be increased but the average household consumer expenses will be raised only by one percent which would not be an issue .
In conclusion, the lecturer casts doubt on the points claimed by the author of the passage
