TPO-41 - Integrated Writing Task

Burning coal in power plants produces a waste product called coal ash, a material that contains small amounts of potentially harmful chemicals Environmentalists in the United States are concerned about the damage such harmful chemicals may be doing to the environment and suggest that the United States government should create new, much stricter regulations for handling and storing coal ash.

However, representatives of power companies take the opposite view; they argue that new regulations are unnecessary and might actually have negative consequences They use the following arguments to support their position.

Regulations Exist

First, power company representatives point out that effective environmental regulations already exist. For example, one very important regulation requires companies to use liner-special material that prevents coal ash components from leaking into the soil and contaminating the surrounding environment. Companies that dispose of coal ash in disposal ponds or landfills must use liner in every new pond or landfill they build.

Concerns About Recycling Coal Ash

Second, some analysts predict that creating very strict rules for storing and handling coal ash might discourage the recycling of coal ash into other products Currently, a large portion of coal ash generated by power plants is recycled: it is used, for example, in building materials such as concrete and bricks Recycling coal ash reduces the need to dispose of it in other ways and presents no environmental danger. However, if new, stricter rules are adopted for handling coal ash, consumers may become concerned that recycled coal ash products are just too dangerous, and may stop buying the products

Increased Cost

Finally, strict new regulations would result in a significant increase in disposal and handling costs for the power companies. perhaps as much as ten times the current costs. Power companies would be forced to increase the price of electricity, which would not be welcomed by the general public.

The reading and lecture both disccused creating new regulations for handing and storing coal ashesh. While the reading believes that it is unnecessary for gorvernment to creat new restrictions, the professor claims that current rules are not sufficient and there should be more restriction on storing and handling coal.
First, the reading claims that there is enough regulation and backs up it's argument by illusterating that companies use linears. On the other hand, professor believes that, this rules are not enough owing to the evidence which companies should only use liner for new land and feilds and support her claim by illustrating the leaking of contaminating materials in water which did so harm to the rurals living there.
Second, the reading suggests that if more regulations are created then concerns about recycling coal ashesh will stem and these may conclude in disuading people from recycling of coal ash in to other materials. nevertheless, the lecturer asserts that the reading didn't get the point and it is not a correct statment. Also, she give the example of Mercury, a hazardous and danger material, that has so many restriction on it but it has been over fifty years that still companies recycles it.
Ultimately, the reading alleged that creating new rules will resualt in a significant increase in costs of disposal and handling for the power companies. While the teacher explains that although it will increase the costs by fifty billion dollers, but it is not a lot of money that each household user will experiance the increased amount of 1 percent that is a subtle change in their payments.
To sum up, although the reading suggests that current rules are sufficient but the teacher will refutes the writer idea by supporting her claims with much elaborated information. And she is sure that some restrication should be added.
