As the president stated in his conference address: "Demand for energy in Taiwan is rising faster than economic growth, while the structure of energy use is very imbalanced. High-energy-consuming industries use more than 30 % of total energy, but generate only about 5 % of GDP. This indicates that we still have a great deal of room for improvement in saving energy and increasing efficiency in its use."
正如全國非核家園會議上陳總統的講稿指出，「目前台灣對於能源的需求已高過經濟的成長，而能源使用的結構也非常不平衡，高耗能產業消耗了三成以上的能源，但產出卻只有國內生產毛額的百分之五左右，顯示我們在節約能源和提高使用效率方面，還有很大的改善空間。」
