“I absolutely disagree if the rest of the world’s not doing it, if it has no global effect, then it’s a self-written economic suicide note.” Says it all, it’s climate change denial. The whole basis of their argument is that they don’t care about the science and wilfully want to ignore it.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jul/31/climate-change-trump-renewables. #Trump even refuses to see #renewables as a useful supplement to #fossilfuels - he has to oppose them, wanting #oil, #gas, #coal & #nuclear to have a monopoly of #energy supply. His attitude is completely irrational.

Taiwan phasing out nuclear even before fossil fuel phase out?
It's a good thing, considering "climate quakes"...
?
Taiwan has a peculiar propensity for quakes after strong rain, due to connections from land ground water caverns to the submarine fault zone:
When lotsa rain falls it gets piped down thru and then puts pressure on /or greases the fault 
See EGU session "Does climate change affect earthquake risks?"
And in particular the talk about the 2024 Hualien 7.8 Earthquake which starts at minute 18.

Robbie Andrew's post: https://bsky.app/profile/robbieandrew.bsky.social/post/3lvczjsgoss2t
"Taiwan is reducing its use of coal and phasing out nuclear, and in the last year that generation has mostly been replaced by natural gas. Solar and Wind have stalled in recent months."
He also says there's talk to reverse the nuclear phase-out.
But I reckon it's as near-impossible as it is in Germany, once the plants are timed to shut off, no longer in the check-and-maintain-cycle, and fuel delivery has stopped.
