Taiwan's main opposition party is pushing voters toward a nuclear restart ahead of a late-November referendum, framing it as a matter of energy and national security.

• The KMT launched a website with data and FAQs urging people to vote to undo Taiwan's "nuclear-free homeland" policy in the November 28 referendum.
• Party officials argue energy security is now national security, saying stable, low-carbon power is needed to attract AI and tech investment.
• A former interior minister said a major AI investor raised doubts about Taiwan over war risk and power supply, and criticized the gap between shutting a reactor in 2025 and a planned restart in 2026.
• A pro-nuclear advocate pointed to a past referendum as proof the public backs nuclear power, contrasting it with the ruling party's anti-nuclear stance.

Outlook: The referendum result on November 28 will determine whether Taiwan reverses its phase-out of nuclear power, with energy policy becoming a flashpoint in the year-end local elections.
