[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] The People Power Party plans to form a committee to investigate the Moon Jae-in administration's nuclear phase-out policy and the destruction of national land.


Kim Ki-hyun, the floor leader of the People Power Party, stated at the floor strategy meeting held on the 25th, "Bills resulting from the nuclear phase-out are increasingly being sent to the people."


Kim explained, "Although it is claimed that the nuclear phase-out will not burden the public, the Electricity Infrastructure Fund, which is used to cover losses from the nuclear phase-out, is a fund accumulated by separately deducting 3.7% of the electricity bill." He added, "Electricity rate increases due to the nuclear phase-out are also becoming a reality," pointing out that "the general household electricity discount has been reduced to 2,000 KRW per month, and Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO)'s debt is growing larger."


He also saw problems in the renewable energy projects promoted by the Moon Jae-in administration. Kim said, "To install solar panels, a forest the size of 3,300 soccer fields was cut down. How much more destruction must occur?" He added, "It is astonishing what they are doing with the world's best nuclear technology."



Kim emphasized, "We will form a committee to investigate the nuclear phase-out and national land destruction," and stressed, "We will thoroughly analyze the failure of the absurd nuclear phase-out and the bogus renewable energy policy, which has degenerated into a leftist activist project, identify those responsible, take criminal action, and actively consider a national audit."
