The reading and the lecture are both the coal ash which contains harmful chemicals. The article of the reading states that the power company representatives argue that new regulations are unnecessary, and provides three reasons for support. However, the lecturer refutes by saying that the government should take some new regulations to protect the environment and refutes each of the author's points.
First, the article claims that the regulations are already existed and provided an example of the linear. This special material is used by every company, which prevents leaking coal ash to the soil, ponds and, landfills. However, the professor refutes this point by saying that using linear is not sufficient because it was used only to the old ponds. But there is no safety to new ponds where people are using this ponds to drink water. Hence, there is a need to protect the environment.
Second, the article posits that recycling the coal ash into other products like concrete and bricks might be discouraged if the new rules were implemented because consumers may be very concerned to buy these products. On the other hand, the lecturer refutes this point by saying that people will be adopted to buy these products and he provided the mercury as an example.
Third, the article conveys that new regulations will increase the cost for the power companies. Nevertheless, the lecturer says that even if the cost was increased the results are well worth. This is because the customers should pay only one percent more than their actual electricity bill. Hence, it is not a big deal for customers for cleaning and protecting the environment.
