Taiwan is highly dependent on imported fossil fuels, leaving it vulnerable to blockade by China. The Taiwan Strait is ripe for offshore wind development, but new turbines would be within missile range from China, and undersea cables are highly vulnerable. https://e360.yale.edu/...

Taiwan, which is highly dependent on imported fossil fuels, is struggling to meet its chip industry's energy demands; TSMC uses ~9% of Taiwan's electricity
Isabel Hilton / Yale E360 :
Taiwan is facing an energy crunch, and a belligerent China is making it harder to resolve. China could block imports of coal and gas, experts say, or sabotage offshore wind. https://e360.yale.edu/...

Isabel Hilton / Yale E360 :
By 2030, Taiwan's semiconductor industry will consume twice as much electricity as the whole of New Zealand. Already struggling to keep up with power demand, it is not clear how the island will supply the needed energy. https://e360.yale.edu/...

Isabel Hilton / Yale E360 :
The biggest producer of advanced computer chips, Taiwan is struggling to meet power demand. Highly dependent on imported fuels, soon to shutter its last nuclear plant, and slow to build out renewables, it is facing an energy crisis. Read more @YaleE360: https://e360.yale.edu/... [image]
