President Lai Ching-te announced the establishment of three committees focusing on national climate change strategies, overall social defense resilience, and promoting a healthy Taiwan within his first month in office. However, the decision to prolong the use of the No. 1 coal-powered unit in Mailiao until the end of 2025 contradicts the commitments made by these committees. The government's choice to extend the coal unit's operation not only goes against climate change mitigation efforts and public health concerns but also reveals the shortcomings of the DPP administration's energy policies. This decision has sparked criticism and highlighted the government's inconsistent actions, causing disappointment among the public.
