The Nationalist Party is advocating for the extension of nuclear power plants, particularly Nuclear Power Plant No. 2, in the wake of the summer electricity peak. Local Nationalist Party legislator Liao Hsien-hsiang mentioned the strong local economic support for the plant and public opinions in favor of extending its service. However, as the plant has been decommissioned, local residents are more concerned about the related subsidies rather than the extension itself. The discussion also covers the safe disposal of nuclear waste and uncertainties over its storage location until 2030, involving legal and social consensus aspects.
