No consensus reached at President Tsai’s meeting with environmentalists

Environmental activists say they''re disappointed with Thursday''s meeting with the president over the liquefied natural gas terminal project at Datan in Taoyuan. At the meeting, President Tsai said the government was searching for alternatives to the project, which environmentalists argue could harm a nearby algae reef. According to the activists, no consensus was reached. At Tsai’s meeting with environmental groups on Thursday, the controversial LNG terminal project was on the agenda. Tsai emphasized that the terminal project was intended to reduce air pollution. Tsai Ing-wen President The Datan LNG terminal and algal reef protection campaign are two environmental protection projects that must be balanced. Restarting Nuclear Power Plant No. 4 is neither possible nor feasible. We have accelerated our evaluation process for alternative solutions, and we hope that you all will remain open to all the possibilities. Pan Chong-cheng Rescue Datan''s Algal Reefs Alliance After the meeting, my immediate feeling was extreme heavyheartedness. We brought up the question of stopping work on the project, asking whether the government could make the announcement. I have always said that President Tsai is an uninvolved party. Today I must reiterate that statement. During the meeting with environmentalists, the Presidential Office proposed adjusting the location of the terminal but keeping it in Datan. But the two sides failed to reach a consensus on the relocation. Pan Chong-cheng Rescue Datan''s Algal Reefs Alliance I invited Tsai to visit Datan’s algal reef next Thursday. Her response was that she would have to check her schedule, although she would like to go. Xavier Chang Presidential Office spokesman At an appropriate time and in an appropriate way, we will go to the site to improve our understanding of the situation. The Presidential Office did not immediately accept the invitation. It emphasized that it was working to balance economic development with environmental sustainability. It also said it would respect the outcome of the Aug. 28 referendum on the terminal project. The KMT panned its response. Johnny Chiang KMT chairman The impression she gave was that she’s an uninvolved party. How did that happen? Because when the environmentalists made demands or suggestions, it seems that President Tsai did not respond directly. That makes people think that the point of this meeting was to appease the activists with a pat on the head. Su Tseng-chang Premier Three weeks ago, I had already instructed the relevant ministries to collect and assess the views of all interested parties, in hopes of formulating the best solution. Once we have a result, it will be made public. The premier said the government would face the suggestions of environmental groups with humility, as it strives to balance environmental sustainability and energy generation.
