The Kuomintang held its first nuclear energy referendum campaign in Yuanlin City, Changhua County, emphasizing the need for AI development and energy security
AI-generated summary
The Kuomintang promotes a referendum on nuclear energy and advocates the abolition of the "nuclear-free homeland" policy to cope with power demand and the development of the AI industry. This issue is closely related to the controversy over environmental pollution caused by Taichung thermal power plants.
On the 17th, KMT Chairman Cheng Lai-wen delivered her first speech at the center of the nuclear energy referendum campaign and loudly stated that for the sake of AI, Taiwan must double its use of nuclear energy for power generation.
The Kuomintang held its first rally in Yuanlin City, Changhua County today, focusing on abolishing the "nuclear-free homeland" and returning to the use of nuclear power. Big political figures on the stage loudly called for double the use of nuclear energy for the sake of AI.
Lu Xiuyan, who is about to step down as mayor of Taichung, denounced the Democratic Progressive Party as "hateful." She said that the wrong policy on thermal power generation decades ago (referring to the era when the Kuomintang was in power) was copied because the Democratic Progressive Party insisted on a "nuclear-free homeland". As a result, Taichung thermal power plants continued to burn coal to generate electricity, and many people suffered from cancer as a result. Taichung mayor candidate Jiang Qichen even said that whether coal or gas is used to generate electricity, it is the same. "Burning gas is also pollution." Love cannot generate electricity, so nuclear power must be used.
Cheng Lai-wen questioned that the ruling party uses people's health and people's lungs to generate electricity, pointing out that nuclear power generation is a global trend. The DPP closed all nuclear power plants at the end of last year and plans to restart the third nuclear power plant this year. Is it "pretending" to the Taiwanese people? Taiwan cannot live without nuclear power. The whole world is rushing to develop AI. Every time Jen-Hsun Huang comes to Taiwan, he mentions that Taiwan cannot live without nuclear power. Musk calls it stupid and crazy not to use nuclear power. President Trump of the United States says that nuclear power in the United States must grow fourfold. Relying entirely on thermal power and natural gas for power generation is polluting and expensive, and has become a loophole in Taiwan’s national security.
Zheng Liwen said that insufficient electricity and rising electricity bills will severely damage Taiwan's economy, halt high-tech investment, and drive the growth of everything. She criticized "wrong policies as more terrifying than corruption" and called on the public to support the nuclear power referendum for the sake of people's health.

Analysts within the Kuomintang pointed out that the recent "ocean current" effect has caused Chiang Wanan's lead in the Taipei mayoral election to shrink, and a large number of voters in the middle have shifted. In terms of other counties and cities, this effect is currently mainly focused on gathering supporters of the Democratic Progressive Party, and the impact on light blue, white camp and middle voters is not yet obvious.

Independent councilor Xu Lixin launched an anti-child abuse campaign in Kai Dao, and the absence of Mayor Jiang Wanan caused controversy. Vice Mayor Lin Yihua said that Chiang would attend the principal meeting after being re-elected. Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Boyang criticized the mayor for personally explaining when a child abuse incident broke out, rather than letting his deputy do it for him.

Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang of the Democratic Progressive Party attended the "Anti-Child Abuse, Protect Children" event. In response to the Charis Kindergarten case, he proposed amending the child care law, establishing a parent version 1999 notification system and improving the evidence preservation process. He also criticized the city government's negative attitude in handling child abuse cases and demanded that the city government take responsibility.

Taichung mayoral candidate Chiang Chi-chen called at a rally in Yuanlin, Changhua, to support the referendum on November 28 to restart nuclear power and extend service to solve the air pollution problem in central China and meet the AI and semiconductor industry’s demand for stable power, emphasizing that power is national competitiveness.
