Tang noted that with the exception of hydro-electric power, Taiwan hardly has any energy at its own free disposal.
The Ministry of Economic Affairs last week recommended that the nuclear power plant project be scrapped, a move that was welcomed by the anti-nuclear DPP.
One of the alternatives proposed by the ministry was liquefied natural gas facilities built by the private sector.
Tang, however, had questioned over the past two days the feasibility of the proposal and reiterated his belief that the nuclear plant project should be continued.
