Various environmental groups have repeatedly called attention to the govern-ment's having missed the opportunity to facilitate industrial transformation over the past few years. They noted that if the government approves construction of For-mosa Plastics 'energy-intensive steel refinery and Chinese Petroleum Corporation's No. 8 Naphtha Cracker plant, these pro-jects once online will exacerbate environmental problems.
各環保團體一再呼籲，政府過去幾年已錯失產業轉型契機，如果未來還要推動高耗能的台塑大煉鋼廠以及中油的「八輕」，將使問題更加惡化。
