According to Lo Kuang-mei, director of the department of environmental protection at Taiwan Power: In the past, since the laws governing environmental pollution were not strict enough, the social cost has increased. It's predictable that government or private enterprise cannot foot the cost in the short-run.
台灣電力公司環保處處長羅光楣認為，過去由於法律訂的不夠嚴，造成的環境汙染，已累積了相當的社會成本，突然要政府或企業來付，短期內的無法適應是可以預見的。
