Call for support for the nuclear power referendum on 11/28 Jiang Qichen: Let the people in central China get rid of the hard life of "using their lungs to generate electricity"

The Kuomintang held a referendum and joint rally in Yuanlin Park, Yuanlin City, Changhua County today (17th). Taichung mayoral candidate Chiang Chi-chen criticized the DPP’s energy policy for long-term air pollution in central China, and relied solely on burning gas and coal-fired thermal power to generate electricity, unable to balance air quality and future electricity demand. He called for a referendum on November 28 to support the restart and extension of nuclear power, so that people in central China can get rid of the hard life of "using their lungs to generate electricity."

Jiang Qichen said that Lu Xiuyan has been the mayor of Taichung for 8 years. She has been worried about air quality almost every day. She has also worked hard to reduce coal and demand that there be no coal-fired fires in 2028. At that time, they and the city councilors climbed over the wall and went to Taipower to protest, and even went on a hunger strike to stop the Executive Yuan. "We want fresh air, we don't use our lungs to generate electricity!"

Jiang Qichen pointed out that everyone is talking about AI now. AI requires stable power supply 24 hours a day. To continue developing, TSMC and the semiconductor industry also need sufficient power. "Electricity is computing power, and computing power is the country's competitiveness." Without electricity, it will be difficult for industry to develop. There is no way to generate electricity with love. "I don't want my lungs!"

Jiang Qichen questioned that in the future, six gas-fired power plants will be added in central China, and the power generation capacity will exceed the existing 10 coal-fired units. However, the old coal-fired units may still be kept in reserve. If the power supply is insufficient and coal is burned, it may be difficult to improve the air quality. He said that the two things that companies are most worried about are the lack of workers and the lack of electricity. He called on the villagers to vote yes in the referendum on November 28 to support the restart and extension of nuclear power, and also support the local election candidates nominated by the Kuomintang.
