To combat climate change, Taiwan’s current energy strategy aims  to “promote green energy, increase natural gas, reduce coal-fired, [and] achieve nuclear-free” goals.  Over the past 3 years, the government has sought to develop various renewable energy programmes. Unfortunately, in cataloging potential sites, some of those with high potential for renewable energy have been found to be ecologically sensitive or have high social value. This tug-of-war between renewable energy development and ecological conservation has created a “Green Conflict”.
