The document analyzes the Kuokuang Petrochemical Project from an economic perspective. It finds that the project's estimated annual external costs of NT$56.9-112.1 billion related to greenhouse gases, health risks, agriculture/fisheries, and the environment exceed its benefits of NT$36.5 billion. It also finds that petrochemical industries contribute less than 4% to GDP and have low employment impacts. The document concludes that extending domestic ethylene production through this project is unnecessary if the market is overseas, and that the project should not be implemented given its costs outweigh benefits and it will increase social inequity.

On the Road toHigh Performance, Net-Zero Energy Buildings:Policy Outlook an...Alliance To Save Energy
At this conference the Alliance supported the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), a principal sponsor of IGEBC2009, to organize its booth at the U.S. Pavilion of the Expo. Castelli's presentation during the U.S. Technology Seminar - an event jointly organized by DOE and the U.S. Foreign Commercial Service in Beijing - focused on the policies and practical steps that are needed to achieve net zero energy building goals in the U.S. Nils Peterman presented on the National Fenestration Ratings Council's Windows Collaborative Program in China, which focuses on adopting labeling standards for windows. In addition, Brian Castelli participated in the meeting with Vice Minister of Housing, Urban, and Rural Development Qui Baoxing, who stressed the need to accelerate the collaboration with the U.S. in energy efficency issues related to construction and water sectors.
