Economic Affairs Minister Guo Zhihui, who took office less than a month ago, has been facing criticism for his inconsistent stance on nuclear power. Initially expressing support for nuclear energy as a clean source, he later mentioned the possibility of extending the lifespan of the nuclear power plants. However, after pressure from higher officials, Guo revised his statement to emphasize that nuclear power is not currently under consideration due to sufficient electricity supply. The article also highlights concerns over future power shortages despite government policies aiming for a non-nuclear environment, and the potential challenges in transitioning to renewable energy sources.
