国際｜台湾、原発ゼロを達成へ
International | Taiwan aims to achieve zero nuclear power.

Summary

The only operational unit of the Third Nuclear Power Plant in Taiwan reached its operational deadline on May 17, marking the realization of the Democratic Progressive Party’s goal of “zero nuclear power.”

However, the administration under Lai Ching-te has not ruled out the future reactivation of nuclear power. With growing energy security concerns and the increasing demand for power from AI, discussions are underway about revising the policy of phasing out nuclear energy. As a result, attention is turning to future energy policies.

Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

A dialogue between Ambassador Tanaka (a diplomat) and reporter Yoshida (a journalist).

Tanaka (Ambassador Tanaka): Taiwan’s achievement of zero nuclear power is a significant step in energy policy.

Yoshida (Reporter Yoshida): That’s true. However, I’m concerned about the possibility of reintroducing nuclear power in the future.

Tanaka: Yes, that’s a valid point. Due to energy security and the influence of AI, the policy on phasing out nuclear power may need to be reevaluated.

Yoshida: That’s an important consideration. We need to keep a close eye on the future of Taiwan’s energy policy.

Admin’s Note

The achievement of zero nuclear power in Taiwan is significant not only for the promotion of renewable energy but also in the context of international energy policy. However, as discussions about the potential reactivation of nuclear power continue, how Taiwan ensures a stable energy supply will be crucial. In pursuing a sustainable society, a solid energy strategy is essential.
