無論是上世紀由工業領航所創造的「經濟奇蹟」，或是今日科技業集聚而成的「護國群山」，臺灣堅實的產業結構，來自政策推動、企業經營與人民投入的長期累積，而支撐其穩定發展的關鍵，即是「能源」。 自1970年代起，臺灣政府開始發展高耗能的石化、鋼鐵產業，並伴隨著大量能源設施的建置，使環境問題迅速浮現。空氣污染、水污染、廢棄物污染與核廢料等「公害」，日漸影響民眾健康與生態環境。 究竟該如何在經濟發展與環境安全之間取得平衡？臺灣的能源政策，又是如何從議題討論走向永續實踐？本文將帶你快速回顧臺灣能源的發展歷程。 From Pollution to Green Energy: The Costs and Choices of Taiwan’s Energy Transition Whether in the “economic miracle” driven by industry in the last century or in today’s concentration of high-tech industries—referred to as Taiwan’s “Silicon Shield” and locally described as “the nation’s protective mountain range”, these sectors form the backbone of the economy. Taiwan’s solid industrial structure rests on decades of policy support, business development, and public participation. At its core lies a key factor—energy. Since the 1970s, the Taiwanese government has promoted energy-intensive industries such as petrochemicals and steel. Alongside the construction of large-scale energy infrastructure, environmental issues surfaced rapidly. The “public hazards” involved—including air pollution, water pollution, waste pollution, and nuclear waste—have increasingly affected public health and the ecological environment. Can we find a balance between economic development and environmental safety? How has Taiwan’s energy policy moved from public debate toward sustainable practice? This article offers a brief review of the development of energy in Taiwan.
