The article states that new regulations are unnecessary for handling and storing coal ash and might have some negative consequences and provide three reasons for support. However, the professor explains that definitly there should be stricter regulations for handling and storing coal ash and refutes each of the author’s reasons.

First, the reading claims that there are already some regulations such as using liner-special material. The professor refutes this point by saying that the regulations are not really sufficient. She states that liner-speacial material is used only for new ponds. If companies have old ponds they do not use the liner-special material and, so it will cause that coal ash will leak into the soil. There absolutely need new regulations to prevent it.

Second, the article posits that coal ash is used in other products for recycling but creating strict rules might discourage the recycling because people may not want to buy the products. However, the professor regulations do not mean stopping to buy the products. According to the professor, it is about how people react this situation. If we take mercury as an example in the case people had a few concern about new regulations but it did not affect people’s attitude.

Third, the reading says that regulations would cause an important increase in disposal and handling costs for the power companies and they would reflect the increase to people. The professor opposes this point by explaining that it is true, there would be an increase but the result will worth it. We also learn that the cost of disposal and handling would be 15 billion dollar. when we think number of people who use electricity there would be just one percent increase in their bill and it is not significant compare to the good result.
