Secondly, in fact Taiwan is not short of electricity, except during brief periods of peak demand in the heat of summer, when air-conditioning systems are running at full blast in houses and offices throughout the land. Once autumn arrives electricity is in plentiful supply, so that sadly the winter northeasterlies come too late to be of any assistance.
其次，台灣其實不缺電，缺的只是夏天酷熱時家家戶戶開冷氣造成的極短時間內的供電吃緊，一旦入秋，供電綽綽有餘，這也使得冬季的東北季風有「英雄無用武之地」之嘆。
