The lecture says that new stricter regulations for handling and storing
coal ash should be adopted. This counters the reading passage's claim that the new
regulations are unnecessary and might actually have negative consequences.
To
begin with, the lecturer argues that regulations which already exist are not
sufficient. This is because the companies can use old liner-special material.
Thus, it might enable coal ash components to leak into soil and contaminate the
environment. This opposes the reading passage's claim that the regulations
which already exist are effective.
On
top of that, the lecturer claims that the new regulations will not interrupt
the recycling of coal ash into other products. For example, using mercury has
strict rules but mercury is commonly consumed. Companies are not afraid of
using it. This contradicts the reading passage's claim that creating very
strict rules for storing and handling coal ash might discourage the recycling
of coal ash.
Finally, the lecturer asserts that new regulations could increase the
cost, but it is not significant that much. This is because it would increase 15
billion dollars, but it would just be 1% of the household’s electricity bill on
average. Thus, it is worth for the environment. This is in opposition to the
reading passage's claim that it would not be welcomed by the general public.
