If all goes according to plan for the ruling DPP, Taiwan’s last nuclear reactor will shut down in 2025. But there are signs that a historic U-turn could be in the making.
I can’t get enough of these net zero projection graphs!
“You see, starting from today we will build 20GW/yr of wind continuing forever”
“Cool, how much do you have today?”
“Almost none. But this is about THE FUTURE!”
Pure straight line projection fantasy from people who just learned how to use MS Excel…
Regarding messaging- maybe some appeal to Confucian philosophy may help? My suggestion is that while the roots of the NPPs may have been an authoritarian government, the power and wealth they have provided has allowed Taiwan to change and become a far more open society. It is natural to chafe against one’s elders, but better to respect what they were trying to accomplish on your behalf and try to do better moving forward.
Most interesting. After the politicians get onboard, the population needs re-education giving them an update on all the changes and improvements to nuclear to head off protests.

Energy security should trump Taiwanese politics. Keep nuclear running there!
