Ever since the government formally adopted an energy policy in 1973, we have always put top priority on achieving a stable supply of energy. We've concentrated for so long on ensuring plentiful energy and paid so little attention to energy conservation that this mode of thinking has become habitual with us.
我國自一九七三年制訂能源政策後，皆以「確保能源穩定供應」為首要目標，開源重於節流的觀念，導致人們習於開發電力，疏於節流工作。
