(Plastemart) -- Supporters and
opponents of the plan to build Kuokuang Petrochemical Technology complex clashed
in central Taiwan at a public hearing regarding the project held by the
government.
According to the latest blueprint submitted by the company to the
government for environmental impact evaluation, the proposed complex will occupy
2,836 hectares of coastal land. The first phase is scheduled to be completed in
2016 will boost economic growth significantly, according to its backers. But
environmental activists insist that Taiwan, long plagued by industrial
pollution, can no longer afford such large energy-guzzling projects.
