Abstract

The article discusses Taiwan's decision to phase out nuclear power, citing public opposition following the Fukushima disaster in Japan as a key factor. This move has drawn criticism from various groups, including defense analysts and business leaders, who warn of potential energy and security crises. Taiwan's reliance on energy imports, particularly from China, raises concerns about potential blockades and economic impacts. The government is exploring alternative energy sources like geothermal while facing challenges in meeting renewable energy targets and increasing electricity demand driven by the AI sector.
