科技進步與能源選擇，童子賢的未來願景！

和碩董事長童子賢於7/23就反核人士主張台灣應全面使用綠能而非核能的觀點，他提出了一些深思熟慮的見解。他認為，新科技的進步可能有潛力解決過去幾十年因商業因素而未能解決的問題。

Pegatron Chairman Tong Zixian put forward some thoughtful insights on July 23 regarding the views of anti-nuclear people who advocate that Taiwan should fully use green energy instead of nuclear energy. He believes that new technological advances may have the potential to solve problems that have not been solved due to commercial factors in the past few decades.

童子賢指出，如果台灣的綠能未來要再發展到現有的十倍，可以想像20多年後，被丟棄的綠能設備將遍布各處，產生相當於好幾個台北市大小的垃圾，對台灣的環境影響將更為嚴重。

Tong Zixian pointed out that if Taiwan's green energy is to develop tenfold in the future, it is conceivable that in more than 20 years, discarded green energy equipment will be scattered everywhere, generating garbage equivalent to several Taipei cities, and the impact on Taiwan's environment will be even more serious.

他表示，現在有些人反對核能，主要是擔心核廢料問題。然而，隨著科技的進步，可能解決過去幾十年來，由於商業運作而不願有效利用核能的問題。

He said that some people are now opposed to nuclear energy, mainly because of concerns about nuclear waste. However, with the advancement of science and technology, it is possible to solve the problem of commercial reluctance to use nuclear energy effectively in the past few decades.

如果在商業上投入新科技是划得來的，我們就不應再迷戀廉價的化石燃料。只要大家願意投入新技術，未來的核廢料可能會降低到原來的十分之一，甚至百分之一。

If investing in new technologies is commercially worthwhile, we should no longer be obsessed with cheap fossil fuels. As long as everyone is willing to invest in new technologies, nuclear waste in the future may be reduced to one-tenth or even one percent of the original amount.

他強調，大家把現有的綠能想像的太美好，但實際上，很多再生能源一點都不綠。如果要把現有的綠能再發展五倍、十倍，這些用完的太陽能板會產生相當於好幾個台北市大小的垃圾。這並不是永續循環。

He emphasized that everyone imagines the existing green energy to be too good, but in fact, many renewable energy sources are not green at all. If we were to develop the existing green energy by five or ten times, these used-up solar panels would generate garbage equivalent to several Taipei cities. This is not a perpetual cycle.

他開玩笑地說，「就像猛獸關在動物園，猛獸你說它老虎獅子很凶，我認為它只是關在動物園，而核一到核四就像四個動物園，平常老百姓也不會沒事跑去，伸出頭到老虎獅子的柵欄裡，不可能嘛。」

He jokingly said, "It's like a wild beast locked up in a zoo. If you say a tiger or lion is very fierce, I think it's just locked up in a zoo. Core 1 to Core 4 are like four zoos. Ordinary people won't run there and stick their heads into the fences of tigers and lions. It's impossible."

最後再次表示，所以比起20年或25年後廢棄的綠能裝置丟棄的滿山遍野，他會真的比燒煤或燒天然氣好到哪裡去嗎？他始終強調，要弄再生能源，就要好好的評估對環境的衝擊。

Finally, I said again, so compared to the abandoned green energy devices that will be discarded all over the mountains and fields in 20 or 25 years, is it really any better than burning coal or natural gas? He has always emphasized that if we want to develop renewable energy, we must carefully assess the impact on the environment.

童子賢的觀點提醒我們，任何能源選擇都有其利弊，我們需要全面考慮，才能做出最佳的決策。他的話語充滿了對未來的期待和對科技的信心，讓我們對能源問題有了更深的理解和思考。他的見解值得我們深思。

Tong Zixian’s point of view reminds us that any energy choice has its pros and cons, and we need to consider it comprehensively in order to make the best decision. His words were full of expectations for the future and confidence in technology, allowing us to have a deeper understanding and thinking about energy issues. His insights are worth pondering.
