NPP calls on Taipower to stop LNG project
By Wu Su-wei and Jake Chung / Staff reporter, with staff writer
New Power Party (NPP) lawmakers yesterday called on Taiwan Power Co (Taipower) to cease development of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving station off the coast of Waimushan (外木山) in Keelung.
The land reclamation project would greatly affect marine life and the livelihoods of fishers in the area, NPP Legislator Chen Jiau-hua (陳椒華) told a news conference at the Legislative Yuan in Taipei.
Despite far-ranging consequences, Taipower has failed to provide its own comprehensive environmental assessment plans, Chen said.
