New stricter rules on handling and storing coal ash

The article and the lecture are both whether to adopt stricter rules on the process of handling and storing coal ash. the author of the reading believes that these regulations would do more harm than support and provides three reasons. nevertheless, the lecturer refutes the statements made by the writer. She is of the opinion that stringent rules on this problem should be established.

First of all, the author suggest that there are already law provisions governing this process. This argument is challenged by the speaker. She says that the existing rules are not sufficient as they are only applied to new landfills and ponds while the ones also cause significant damages as well. Harmful chemicals in those sites penetrate into underground water and contaminate drinking water. According to lecturer, all disposal locations, both new and old, should be bound by law.

Second, the writer contends that the more legislations introduced would create consumers' fear for products made of recycled ash and consequently, hurt the sale. However, the lecturer rebuts this point by asserting that this does not necessarily mean that buyers would stop using products related to coal ash. She elaborates on by mentioning the case of Mercury, of which the handling and storing has long been fettered by strict rules. Despite that, Mercury is still successfully and safely recycled and people show few concern and are not afraid to purchase and utilize the products made of the chemical.

Finally, it is stated in the passage that introduction of new regulations would lead to growing cost for power corporations, which must, hence, raise the electricity price. The speaker, on the other hand, posits that the result is well worthy of the extra cost. The expense on implementing the new rules is about fifteen billion Dollars, which actually expands the average budget for electricity by one percent. She argues that this cost is worthwhile in exchange for a cleaner environment
