The reading and the lecture are talking about the regulations for handling and storing coal ash. The author of the reading feels that the new regulations are not necessary, and there are three explanations of the new regulation. However, the lecturer oppose each of the author's explanation.
To begin with, the author argues that effective environmental regulations are already exist that companies have to use linear material that prevent coal ash from leaking out and harm the environment. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He claims that the regulation of using linear material is controlled only in a new landfill. But it is not required to old landfill. As a result, the disposal of coal ash leak out to the surrounding environment like drinking water and harm it.
Secondly, the writer suggests that creating strict rules for storing and handling coal ash will discourage the recycling of coal ash into other products. Also, consumers may become concerned that recycled coal ash products are dangerous and they will stop buying it. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by saying that strict regulation of coal ash does not mean that consumers will stop buying the products. Consumers have high concerns and they respond positively to other dangerous products such as mercury. They know that mercury should be strictly handled, but after recycling mercury's products are safe. So, consumers have concern about it, and they are not afraid to buy mercury recycling products.
Finally, the author posits that new regulations would result in increasing the costs for the power companies and in turn, the price of electricity will increase. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that strict new regulations will worth the extra cost. All the amount of the cost may be around 50 billion dollars, they are large amount of money, but after doing the math, the result is each bill will increase only 1 percent. And that is not too much money.
