Longtime leader of Taiwan's anti-nuclear movement and former professor of physics at National Taiwan University, Chang Kow-lung took office this summer as EPA Minister and then began actively to promote his economizing ideas. Recently he even made some candid and critical remarks on the low cost of hydro-electric power in Taiwan and Tai-wan's oil pricing policy, saying this was nothing less than the behavior of a "barbaric society."
