“Civil groups have been pushed to the limit by both the Shen’ao and algae reef cases,” said Taiwan Healthy Air Action Alliance Director Yeh Guang-peng.

The government is currently studying the feasibility of building Taiwan’s third liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminal in the Kwun Tong Industrial Area of Taoyuan to meet growing demand for electricity.
政府目前正在研究在桃園觀塘工業區建造台灣第三座天然氣接收站的可行性,以滿足不斷增長的電力需求。

The goal is to generate 50 percent of the electricity from natural gas, up from the current 30-plus percent.
政府的目標是50%的電力由天然氣產生,目前大約是30%以上。
generate(v.)發(電);產生
However, environmentalists argue that the natural gas station will threaten an endemic species of crustose coralline algae on the coastal reefs.
然而,環保人士主張,天然氣站將威脅沿海藻礁上的一種特有的殼狀珊瑚藻。
threaten(v.)威脅到pose a threat to~威脅到endemic(adj.)特有的species(n.)(動植物)種;物種crustose coralline algae殼狀珊瑚藻
Since last Friday, disputes over the LNG terminal have become fiercer after Premier Lai Ching-te said that if the project in Taoyuan passes environmental impact assessments and proceeds to completion, the Cabinet will consider scrapping another controversial plan to expand the coal-fired power plant in Shen’ao, in Yilan County.
自上週五以來,觀塘案的爭議越演越烈,因為行政院長賴清德說,如果桃園項目通過環境影響評估並興建完成,內閣將考慮取消在宜蘭深澳擴大燃煤電廠的爭議計劃。
dispute(n.)爭議;爭執fierce(adj.)激烈的assessment(n.)評估、衡量、評估結果environmental impact assessments環境影響評估scrap(v.)放棄、取消=abandon=drop
To this, the civil groups argue that the LNG terminal project should not be treated as a replacement for the Shen’ao project as the environmental impacts of the two are equally damaging.
對此,民間團體認為觀塘案不應被視為深澳案的替代方案,因為兩者對環境的衝擊破壞性是一樣的。
