TPO 41

Both of the provided materials are discussing a specific waste product, namely ash coal. The reading avers an act of environmentalists about passing stricter rules to prevent ash coal's damage to the environment. Then the author mentions three reasons to demonstrate how these laws are unnecessary and somewhat bothersome. Nevertheless, the lecturer believes otherwise and refutes each of the passage's points.

First, the reading suggests that the potential environmental drawbacks of ash coals are already handled. However, the professor states that the regulations regarding the prevention of ash coal leakage are only applied to the newly constructed ponds and landfills. Moreover, older sites are still endangering water and soil reservoirs. She mentions a recent leakage of ash coal from an old unregulated site that contaminated the nearby underground water. Thus, she believes all the new and old ponds have to follow more stringent regulations.

Second, the reading avers about the concerns regarding customers of these leftovers. The professor, on the other hand, opposes these concerns by stating that attributing a product as a harmfull product has nothing to do with its market among in-demand companies. For example, Mercury is a hazardous material which was entitled to lots of regulations in industries. However, it did not lose its customers since they were not afraid of an useful material in their business, which happens to be a poisonous one.

Third, the reading states that the addition of expenses on this matter is not acceptable. The professor contends by saying that preserving the environments and saving valuable resources is a well-worthy result of this added cost. Also, she adds that the overall expense would add up to fifty billion dollars, which increases each household's energy consumption by one percent. This is a rather small price for a greater good.
