Similar things happen where there are power plants. If the local fishermen aren't catching many fish one year, they blame Taipower. When the harvest is not so good, farmers say that it's Taipower's fault. Whether the claims are justified or not, Taipower must cough up some money to handle the problems and "be a good neighbor."
同樣地，凡是有電廠的地方，漁船捕不到魚怪台電、農作物歉收也怪台電，台電不管有理沒理，總得花錢消災，拿一筆錢出來「敦親睦鄰」，為的就是怕民眾圍廠，鬧上了新聞版面更難看。
