Although the plan for the fourth nuclear power plant was passed, Premier Lien Chan--while stressing that the fourth plant is necessary for maintaining economic prosperity--has promised that there will be no fifth or sixth plant. Nevertheless, the opposition and anti-nuclear groups will continue protesting, and the citizens of Kungliao, where the plant is slated to be built, have shown a fight-to-the-grave resolve to resist.
現在雖然核四案通過，連戰也重申核四廠是維持台灣經濟繁榮的必要選擇，並且承諾不會再有核五、核六，但是在野黨和各級反核團體仍會繼續進行抗爭活動，核四預定興建地的貢寮民眾，更已明白表示將誓死抗爭。
