The listening and the reading material both discuss the topic of regulation of the coal ash. However, the speaker discords with the idea in the passage. The speaker offers several reasons to make the article more unconvincing.
The first reason is that practicing the liner-special material to only the new built pond is not enough. The writer claims that the regulation has already required the company to prevent the coal ash from leaking in every new pond. Nevertheless, the speaker indicates that the old pond will still be used and leak toxic water to contaminate and damage the land. Therefore, the government should create stricter laws to ameliorate the circumstance.
Second, the stricter regulation won't let the customer afraid of the coal ash products. The author proves his point of view that the stricter law will let the buyer concern that the coal ash is too dangerous to buy. On the other hand, the lecturer takes mercury for example to oppose this point of view. He argues that the mercury has been controlled strictly for 50 years and recycled successfully, so the writer's claim is baseless.
The third reason is that the increasing cost of disposal and handling costs for the power company will increase the price of electricity. Nonetheless, the speaker claims that even though the high cost for maintaining the power looks amazing, in average the user have only spend 1% more for the electricity. Thus, it is not too much to have a clean environment.
