The passage provides the statement that new regulations for handling and storing coal ash is unnecessary and might have negative results. It brings three main reasons to back up this idea. However, the professor in the lecture casts doubt on that and does not validate the hypothesis and its information mentioned in the passage by suggesting a number of points which contradict them.
First, the passage states that companies must use a liner in every new pond or landfill they build. On the contrary, the professor shares this idea is not sufficient because she brings up the reason that it requires to add this liner-special material in all landfills and ponds for preventing them from leaking into the soil and contaminating the nearby environment. So, she believes it needs to create strict regulations in this area.
Furthermore, the text asserts that this new rules can affect on recycling of coal ash because of thinking of it is dangerous. On the other hand, the professor says that this idea is not to be taken seriously due to the fact that in other dangerous materials we have a different experience. For example in using mercury despite taking some tough rules for storing or handling it, it had not bad consequences in using it.
Finally, the reading holds the view that a significant increase in cost for companies is the result of the strict new rules. Conversely, the lecturer refutes this point by underlining the fact that companies' cost is already high and this new regulation just makes it in average 1 percent increase for consumers. This increase is not too much to pay for having a clean environment.
