A weekly magazine reported that environmental groups lodged a complaint with the Control Yuan accusing the illegal extension of the Mailiao coal-fired power plant, prompting lawmakers to question why the plant cannot be decommissioned if Taiwan's power supply is sufficient. A legislative committee will review the Nuclear Reactor Facility Control Act to address the issue of extending nuclear power operations. Recent polls show a lack of public confidence in President Lai's administration providing adequate electricity and stability, with a majority supporting extending the lifespan of domestic nuclear power plants. The opposition criticizes the government's energy policies, demanding clarity on whether nuclear power plants will be extended after legal loopholes are resolved. The debate continues between political parties regarding the future of Taiwan's energy policy and the potential extension of nuclear facilities.
