​Wherever you call home, energy policy always finds you: in your electricity bill, your city's climate targets, and in questions of national security.

​Germany switched off its last nuclear reactor in 2023 and has become increasingly dependent on imported gas and neighboring grids. Taiwan followed in 2025 - within a year, the debate over switching the reactors back on had already begun: A semiconductor industry that needs electricity like oxygen. A region exposed to forces beyond its control. A planet running low on patience.

​Join us to take nuclear power apart, without assuming where the argument should end. Take the controls yourself in a live simulation of electricity supply and demand, weighing cost against safety and carbon footprint. From there we look outward at how different countries have each arrived somewhere else entirely.

​不論家在哪裡，能源政策總會找上你：每個月的電費帳單、居住地的減碳目標、危機時刻的國家安全。

​德國於2023年關閉最後一座核電廠，如今仰賴進口天然氣與鄰國電力；臺灣非核家園今年剛滿一年，已開始討論是否重啟。缺電風險、半導體產業用電需求與地緣政治的脆弱性交織，沒有人是局外人。

​本活動邀請你一起拆解核能，從科學出發，不預設答案。並透過電力供需模擬遊戲，體驗不同能源組合的成本、安全與碳排取捨，一起檢視各國能源政策，如何在不同的處境裡，走出各自的路。
