Lai Wei-chieh, general secretary of the Green Citizens 'Action Alliance, describes the sun as a gigantic nuclear fusion reactor, so powerful that the sunshine that hits the earth in 45 minutes contains as much energy as the whole of mankind uses in a year. Thanks to the efforts of the worldwide energy industry over many years, solar energy technology has advanced greatly and costs are gradually falling.
綠色公民行動聯盟秘書長賴偉傑指出，太陽好像是個巨大的核子反應爐，它照射地球四十五分鐘，就可以供應全人類活動一年所需的全部能量；而在全球能源產業團隊的競相努力下，多年來太陽能技術已有大幅進展，成本也逐步下降。
