In response to the “four major transformation paths” proposed by President Tsai, Ling Tao, chairman of the KMT Cultural and Communication Association, said that under President Tsai, prices have risen frequently, power outages have become daily, livelihoods are difficult to maintain, thus making it difficult for industries to develop. Moreover, President Tsai’s 2025 non-nuclear homeland policy is already bankrupt, yet the Tsai government still finds it hard to quit ‘slogan governance’ and ‘pie in the sky’ thinking. Too many slogans have been seen through by the public. The KMT pointed out that the basic development of energy supply, industrial upgrading, living stability, social justice, and other aspects are not being done properly. President Tsai talking about the so-called four major transformations is merely trying to turn the public’s attention away from the current policies that cannot solve the people’s suffering, and to cover up the fact that the DPP can only engage in a “war of words” and is unable to govern the country.

Ling Tao said that President Tsai mentioned that “the energy transformation should continue,” which means that the failed energy policy that led Taiwan into power outage will stand uncorrected. The crisis of Taiwan’s energy shortage will never end. Where was the forward-looking new energy planning and budget? President Tsai will not be able to achieve the 2025 homeland policy vision.

As for the path of “industrial transformation should be accelerated,” Ling Tao pointed out that the current five shortages of industries include power shortages, whether it is based on foreign polls or Taiwan industry associations, the number one worry is the power shortage crisis. If the Tsai government cannot do a good job of ensuring a stable power supply, then how can it assist industrial transformation?

Regarding the path of “life transformation to start,” Ling Tao questioned what are the aspects of change related to food, clothing, housing, and transportation? How do we do this? What is the specific plan? President Tsai’s declaration has made everyone confused, but the people have deeply felt the dark pain of power outages. Is the transformation of life worth the cost of long-term power issues?

Finally, President Tsai mentioned that “social transformation should be just.” Ling Tao pointed out that the 2025 non-nuclear homeland policy has been reneged. Grass-roots people, businesses, and industries are suffering from the unstable flow of electricity, and the Tsai government has been using coal to generate power while sacrificing the health of Taichung people to support electricity. How can they talk about social justice? Why does the impetuous energy transition policy come at the expense of the health of some citizens? When did the government communicate with these people? The Tsai government’s energy policy has failed, and the 2050 non-nuclear vision is simply ‘pie in the sky’ thinking again. The people will no longer believe it!

Ling Tao emphasized that among the four major transformations, although the energy transformation is the first item, the energy policy proposed by the Tsai government had been reneged repeatedly, so no matter how many other transformations are discussed, they are in vain. If there is no stable energy supply, manufacturers and industries dare not invest in Taiwan. If life must constantly face the dilemma of power outages and high prices, how can our society maintain justice? The Tsai government must frankly face mistakes, and have a pragmatic view of the country’s sustainable development. Only the stable supply of energy is the basis for promoting development at all levels. Instead of acting in accordance with certain principles, only putting forward ‘pie in the sky’ slogans, the government should immediately invite experts and scholars in various fields to convene a national energy conference to brainstorm and produce solutions.
