Du / Tong Zixian: Anti-nuclear people say that nuclear power is not the mainstream of power generation

President Lai Qingde hosts the first “Nationalclimate changeAnti-measures committee”, Tong Zixian, deputy convenor of the National Climate Change Anti-measures Committee, laments that anti-nuclear people have a conceptual fog that needs to be cleared. They often says that there are 200 countries in the world, but only about 30 countries have adopted it.nuclear powerTherefore, “They say that nuclear power is not the mainstream of power generation. I want to explain that this concept is wrong.”

Tong Zixian explained the data , and another Two countries, Italy and Poland, have announced plans to use nuclear power “This shows that nuclear power is a major source of energy for advanced countries Carbon emissions can help to fight global warming and climate change,” he said.

Tong Zixian lamented that global warming has caused extreme weather and affected modern civilization, including the melting of the Arctic and Antarctic ice caps and levels Rising seas These effects will affect Taiwan in the future in terms of climate change, Taiwan must not be left behind.

Taiwan’s carbon emission rate is relatively high. Most of Taiwan’s carbon emissions come from Taipower, while others include carbon emissions from industrial production and transportation.

Tong Zixian reiterated that it is recommended to let him goBottom 2expand the service of the three nuclear power plants, and allow “nuclear and green power to survive” to stabilize Taiwan’s power supply, allowing nuclear power and green power to cooperate to provide stable power supply and emissions reduce carbon.

He went even further and suggested that, from a land planning and environmental assessment point of view, we should review the possibilities for solar photovoltaics and offshore wind power generation, assess the land ​​​​​and the marine area that contains green energy, and assess the impact of forests, farmland, and intertidal zones. He has to take the initiative and not be a victim.”

Tong Zixian is also reported to support the research on decarbonization technologies of hydrogen power generation, geothermal power generation, tidal power generation and thermal power generation, and hopes that new energy and new technologies to generate more energy without adding carbon.

The extended service of Nuclear 2 and Nuclear 3 can provide a large share of low-carbon power generation (or provide carbon-free power generation) Tong Zixian said, according to calculations, these two power plants together can provide 11.5% of Taiwan’s electricity. use, and both It is a low-carbon power generation Therefore, Taiwan’s low-carbon power generation figure can be increased immediately Because the nuclear power of the two plants exceeds the total green power supply currently, it is an important source of energy. It can help Taiwan stabilize power supply, reduce carbon emissions, increase energy stability, and stabilize base load at night. It can also greatly reduce land use with green electricity and the impact on the eco- reduce knowledge.

Tong Zixian said that Nuclear 2 and Nuclear 3 have been operating for 40 years and have good safety records in the past. If the operation can be expanded in the future, the security inspection process must be professional. and done according to standard procedures. If Taiwan allows Nuclear Power 2 and Nuclear Power 3 to be canceled, the power generation they add can prioritize the phase-out of coal and natural gas power generation, thus significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions and also significantly reducing PM2.5 air pollution. , “which is very beneficial to people’s health.”
