The Ma-anshan Nuclear Power Plant in Pingtung County’s Hengchun District is pictured in this file photo. The KMT pushed for several referendums on nuclear power, but only after nuclear power plants were safely closed. If the KMT’s noises about how much it loves nuclear power are ignored, it is obvious from its actions (or lack thereof) that it does not want nuclear power. The KMT positions nuclear power as an endless distraction simply by keeping the mere existence of functioning nuclear power plants in front of the public via referendums and public criticism of the DPP. RE100 is a renewable energy certification program that sets up rules for firms to follow in sourcing and expanding their renewable energy use.
