Sustainable, inexhaustible "The next generation of energy sources have to be inexhaustible, unlike traditional energy sources that are quickly depleted," says Chan Shih-hung, president of Yuan Ze University and of the New Energy Association of Taiwan. Chan points out that traditional energy sources are mainly extracted from underground, which not only takes a great deal of effort, but also cannot continue forever.
永續能源，生生不息「下一代能源，一定要取之不盡、用之不竭，不能再像傳統能源般容易耗盡，」身兼「台灣新能源產業促進協會」理事長的元智大學校長詹世弘指出，傳統能源主要是從地底下開採而來，不僅費時費力，也不能持久。
