KMT presidential candidate and New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi threw out his energy policy yesterday, saying for the first time that if he is elected president, he will give everyone a clear report, “We will definitely do a good job in nuclear safety and properly dispose of nuclear waste. Nuclear energy is my choice. “

In the past, when Hou Youyi mentioned nuclear energy, he always said that “without nuclear safety, there would be no nuclear energy” and “the central government must first solve the nuclear waste problem before discussing nuclear power.” Democratic Progressive Party presidential candidate Lai Ching-te said the day before yesterday that relevant units were planning to keep shut down nuclear energy units for emergency use in the future. Hou Youyi responded yesterday by saying that nuclear energy would be his option for the first time.

Hou approved the green 2025 non-nuclear homeland can not do

Regarding Lai Qingde’s remarks about nuclear energy, Hou Youyi said that this is a very realistic issue. The DPP said “2025 non-nuclear homeland”, “This cannot be done, it really cannot be done”, everyone has to face it For the facts, if you can’t do it, you have to constantly reflect on why you did it in the first place; the most important thing about Taiwan’s energy problems is not to lack electricity.

Hou Youyi said that Taiwan’s energy must be diversified to solve the power shortage problem. Nuclear energy is one of them. He will make the ratio of multiple energy sources in line with world trends so that Taiwan will not lack electricity.

Lvying said Lai did not mention the extension of nuclear power plants

As for what Lai Ching-te said the day before yesterday, yesterday everyone from the DPP, Lai’s campaign office, and DPP legislators unanimously said that Lai was thinking in the context of the national security risk situation caused by the “extreme” external state, and that the DPP The non-nuclear stance has remained unchanged; Lai never mentioned or supported the extension of the first and second nuclear plants in the discussion with students at National Taiwan University.

According to analysts in the blue camp, Hou Youyi’s premised support for nuclear energy is a good-faith response to his recent visit to former President Ma Ying-jeou, and he adopted Ma’s suggestion. KMT spokesman Lin Jiaxing said that Hou Youyi’s energy policy statement, which takes into account both nuclear safety and power supply, is in line with mainstream public opinion in Taiwan and the world trend, and is highly consistent with the KMT’s four pragmatic and diverse energy propositions: net-zero carbon emissions, elimination of air pollution, energy transformation, and stable power supply. .

Lin Jiaxing said that Hou Youyi’s speech is reminiscent of the “Nuclear Green” referendum, more than 54% of the public voted for it, but was forcibly ignored by the DPP. The responsibility of the whole people led to five major power outages in Taiwan in six years, and the people complained a lot. Lai Ching-teh hastily expressed his position now, which is obviously a short-term expedient measure to cheat votes. It may not be used as a review of the DPP’s nuclear energy policy.

DPP spokesman Zhang Zhihao asked Hou Youyi, “Where should the nuclear waste be placed?” He also questioned that the bill on no longer extending the service of nuclear plants No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 was passed when Ma Ying-jeou was in power, and when Hou asked Ma for benefits a few days ago , why didn’t you ask this clearly? To put forward this proposition so hastily is to slap Ma Ying-jeou in the face.

Chen Zhihan, spokesperson for the Office of the People’s Party presidential candidate Ke Wenzhe, believes that Hou Youyi’s delay in issuing the dry storage tank license for the second nuclear plant led to the early shutdown of the second nuclear plant. Things” go the other way.
