究竟是「經濟發展」掛帥？還是「環境生態」保本？

2005年，台電公司以發展工業和經濟，不能出現用電缺口為由，計畫在彰化縣的彰濱工業區闢建「彰工火力發電廠」。

消息傳來，地方環保人士迅速組織「反彰火聯盟」，就此展開環境運動保衛戰。但，長路迢迢，關卡重重，同志們顯得越來越兵疲馬累……

Does “the country is supreme” really resonate or is “people first” actually pleasant to hear?

Is “the industrial exploitation” truly important or is “a nation is built on agriculture” rational?

Is “economic development” in fact in command or is it “environmental ecology” that suffers no loss of capital?

In 1990, Taiwan Power Company Ltd., constructed in Taichung, Taiwan the biggest power plant in Asia. The Taichung power plant emits more than 37 million tones of carbon dioxide annually, the highest of any plant in the world. In 2005, Taiwan Power Company again planed to construct another power plant in Changhua County in response to economic development requirements.

When the plan became public, environmentalists in Changhua immediately organized the “Anti Changhua Power Plant Alliance”. It attempted to prevent the construction that would seriously endanger people’s health and severely impact the environment.

 There’s still a long way to go but these protectors of the environmental are getting tired and helpless. Will the people’s movements get any responses from the public?
