【**川普做了哪些40年來其他總統沒做的事?**】中共就是這幾任包括柯林頓，小布希，歐巴馬給搞到為所欲為，不管川普是否連任，這4年能夠把中共搞到崩潰邊緣，他真的不簡單!

**這裡整理幾點，他做了那些前任總統沒做的事?**

**1. 讓反共成為美國共識:**
* 正式公開承認過去幾十年對中政策的錯誤，並將中國與中共分開，認定中共所領導的中國為「有別於民主」的獨裁國家，視其為「新威權主義」

**2. 讓反共成為民主自由國家共識:**
* 呼籲並整合西方國家，在民主自由與極權暴政之間只能選邊站，價值觀勝過經濟誘因
* 在這次疫情，願意第一個出來講真話，讓我們不用活在指鹿為馬的世界，指出就是因為中共隱匿疫情，造成全球染疫超過千萬，死亡超過50萬人，經濟停擺，損失無可計算，四億多全職工作消失不復返，生活模式改變
* 甚至，他點出了 [#宗教自由](https://www.facebook.com/…/%E5%AE%97%E6%95%99%E8%87%AA%E7%9…)，喚醒我們與中共的差別，西方民主國家不要忘記我們的價值觀，行善止惡的重要性

**3. 斷絕中共資金來源:**

5. 5G:
* Barred American firms from selling tech and supplies to huawei without first obtaining a license to do so and restricted companies like TSMC, a Taiwan-based firm, from exporting computer chipsets and other key components to Huawei.
* At the same time, warned the world that Huawei products will pose a risk to their national securities. Now, the tide is turning against Huawei, many countries have given up using Huawei equipments on their 5G instructure.
* According to CNN, because of using huawei equipments, the Philippines' power grid is under the full control of the Chinese government and could be shut off in time of conflict
* Denied Google to use a direct connection between the US and Hong Kong, due to a significant risk to security

我們主張用綠能取代核能。

但擁核方說，台灣無法做到，非核不可。這不僅是托詞，更是自斷生路。

台灣的核能發電佔比不過10%，為了這10%我們必須付出昂貴的風險代價，實在不值得。

如果全力發展綠能，五到十年後，提升到20%以上，不僅順利銜接老舊核電退役的空缺，也可降低燃煤電廠的空氣污染。更重要的是，積極帶動台灣的能源與產業轉型。

以下這篇來自路透社最新報導，可以說明綠能發展對台灣的重要性，歡迎分享。

p.s.台積電4/18宣佈響應，他們為蘋果在台灣生產的晶片，將全數採用綠能。

【路透社報導中英對照】

蘋果公司在2019年4月11日宣布已有44家供應商加入該公司的清潔能源計畫，清潔能源供應包含iPhone製造過程中封裝及晶片的製造。這些已承諾100%只使用清潔能源替蘋果生產的供應商數量增加將近1倍。

Apple Inc said on Thursday it has nearly doubled the number of suppliers using only clean energy for production work, including two that assemble and make the processor chips for the iPhone.
　
蘋果去年表示，再生能源可滿足該公司所有的用電需求，例如以太陽能發電供應資料中心（data center）的用電。然而，蘋果公司為解決大部分來自於其供應鏈之碳足跡問題，已從2015年起直接和供應鏈企業合作，促其使用清潔能源生產蘋果產品。

Apple last year said it meets all of its needs with renewable energy such as solar farms that power data centers. But a large part of its carbon footprint comes from its supply chain, and since 2015 Apple has worked directly with those companies to use clean energy for Apple production.
　
蘋果公司4月11日宣布目前共有44家供應商加入該公司的清潔能源計畫，包含鴻海集團旗下生產iPhone的富士康、以及為蘋果行動設備供應A系列處理器晶片的台積電。在此之前，蘋果公司曾表示有23家廠商參與「清潔能源供應商」計畫。

Forty-four companies are now in the program, Apple said on Thursday, including Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd, whose Foxconn unit makes iPhones, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd, which supplies the A-series chips that power all of Apple’s mobile devices. Apple had previously disclosed 23 suppliers in the program.
　
蘋果的清潔能源定義為來自風能、太陽能或沼氣燃料電池，以及所謂的「低衝擊」水力發電，例如在俄勒岡州的一個站點，即利用灌溉渠道的水力發電，為蘋果的資料中心供電。

The company defines clean energy as coming from wind, solar or bio-gas fuel cells, as well as what it calls “low-impact” hydroelectric projects like a site in Oregon that captures energy from water in irrigation canals to power one of its data centers.
　
蘋果並未指定參與該計畫的供應商清潔能源之方式，但鼓勵供應商建立自己的再生能源計畫，例如去年iPad代工廠仁寶在其中國工廠安裝屋頂型太陽能設備。

Apple did not specify where the new suppliers in the program would get the clean energy. It encourages suppliers to build their own renewable energy projects, such as when iPad assembler Compal last year built rooftop solar installations on its factories in China.
　
如果供應商無法設立再生能源案場，蘋果則表示希望供應商能與新的再生能源案場簽署購電合約(PPA)，在無法取得PPA的情況下，則以購買再生能源憑證之方式取得清潔能源。

When those options are not available, Apple says it aims to have suppliers sign power-purchase agreements with new renewable energy projects and using purchases of renewable energy credits only when there are no other options.
　
蘋果公司負責其環境、政策及社會倡議之副總裁Lisa Jackson表示，該公司有望在2020年實現在其供應鏈電網增加4 GW可再生能源的目標，甚至有機會超過5 GW。

In an interview, Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of environment, policy and social initiatives, said the company is also on track to pass its goal of adding 4 gigawatts of renewable energy to the grids of its supply chain by 2020 and has a “sight line” to “well over” 5 gigawatts.
　
如果供應商未能履行對於該計畫的承諾，Jackson拒絕透露蘋果公司是否會放棄像是富士康或是台積電這樣的供應商，畢竟在供應鏈中沒有其他公司可與這兩家公司的能力匹敵。

Jackson declined to say whether Apple would drop suppliers such as Foxconn and TSMC - whose capabilities few others in the global electronics supply chain can match - if they fail to meet their commitments to the program.
　
「我們花了一些時間將廠商召募進此計畫中，而我們相信這些加入計畫的廠商必會全力以赴、達成目標。」Jackson表示「很明顯，如果廠商沒有達到承諾，我們將究其責任。我無法說之後會怎麼樣，但希望這情況永遠不會發生。」

“It took a while for them to come on board, and so we believe that now that they have, they’re fully committed to doing it,” Jackson said. “And obviously if they fall down on the job, we’ll be right there on their chase. I can’t tell you what will happen, but I hope it never does.”

恭禧綠黨，突破缺口。

綠黨不會也不該取代第三勢力，綠黨可以為多元的第三勢力，展示新時代的參政風貌。

大勢已至，再創高峰吧。

【綠黨選後聲明】

感謝今天台灣所有投票給綠黨的選民，謝謝你們挺好的人選、挺好的政黨，你們是台灣新政治的開拓者，你們就是台灣社會「挺好的」選民！今天是綠黨繼 1996 年後，十八年來首次有候選人當選的關鍵時刻，對開創新政治的意義非凡！

綠黨在本次九合一選舉中有桃園（中壢）王浩宇、新竹縣（竹東、五峰）周江杰，兩位地方縣市議員候選人當選。

綠黨是全世界的環境政黨，我們用在地的行動，連結全球 91 個綠黨共同的進步價值。多年來，即便綠黨屢敗屢戰，卻依然不斷有人前仆後繼的加入，試圖透過參選行動、經營綠黨，來改變台灣既有的政治結構與核心價值。這些夥伴不斷地在面對各種現實與困境、理想和爭取選票的權衡中奮鬥堅持，期許綠黨能在台灣政治中能扮演關鍵少數，成為連結社會運動的參政平台。

2012 年立委選舉，綠黨拿到將近 23 萬張全國政黨票，雖低於 5% 未獲得國會席次，但已成為台灣第五大政黨。我們認為，台灣社會需要一個療癒式的政黨，需要好的政治來修復我們的土地環境、社會正義與民主制度所受的傷。做為一個負責任的世代，我們要將政治、政黨與人民之間復原成正常的關係，才能共同面對台灣的發展。

2013 年開始，我們持續檢討過去綠黨內部的組織問題，以「扎根」作為改革與經營的方向。這次地方縣市選舉，越來越多長期在地方耕耘環境、地方政治議題的人才，或願意投身政治改革的優秀青年加入綠黨，成為了我們的候選人與團隊夥伴，更進一步邀請台灣各領域的社運團體，一起思考台灣的重大問題、發展方向，以及新的政治、好的政黨該如何實踐。

綠黨的候選人都是過著一般生活的普通人，都是家鄉子弟回家耕耘。他們不是政治世家、不是政商名流，他們以相對非常少的經費，不斷地在選區內進行各種議題的倡議。他們用小額募款來籌措經費、連結地方與社運團體研擬政策，他們以滿滿的勇氣與對家鄉的熱情，每天站在街頭演講、騎三輪車，或多年經營網路社群等方式，來取代滿街的大型看板與旗海。

支撐這些人站出來的動力，正是因為我們想要證明，台灣人民是願意選擇理念的候選人，台灣社會是願意屏棄鋪張浪費、喧嘩吵鬧、政策買票的選舉方式。我們想要證明，台灣的政治是可以包含多元的價值，讓拼經濟、浮濫開發建設以外的發展方式進入議會辯論。

今年在地方議會的選舉結果，顯示我們要能在打破握有大黨資源、媒體關注與家族勢力的既有結構，依然非常艱難。我們想請所有台灣選民一起思考，究竟我們該如何集結更多改變的力量，突破地方政治的家族派系與財團金權？一波波大型的社會運動、人民覺醒後，回到台灣各地該如何真正打破兩黨壟斷、讓進步的理念進入地方議會監督市政？

今天過後，綠黨將儘速整理本次選舉的報告，並開始協助當選的議員王浩宇、周江杰籌組議會的團隊。綠黨將用更加倍認真的態度，學習以一個國際的政黨、創新的政治，在地方市政中實踐「全球綠色政治」的理念。我們也會嚴守競選期間綠黨對選民與公民團體的承諾、政治代理人公約的監督精神，公開透明所有問政的紀錄與報告。未來四年，綠黨的議員將會是公民社會的窗口，將社會的力量帶進桃園市、新竹縣議會，對所有選民負責。

面對落選的選區，我們將虛心的檢討，未來更認真努力。即使綠黨缺乏人力與財力，無法提供候選人更好的基礎，但綠黨的候選人依然展現了無比的熱誠與堅定的信念，盡力一搏。感謝各地堅持相信並願意給綠黨機會的選民，也懇請社會各界鼓勵這些候選人、團隊幹部與所有志工，相信他們持續在地方扎根、繼續為開創新政治努力的熱情與動力。

今晚，相信所有期待綠黨茁壯的朋友有開心、也有失望。我們要感謝長期以來不離不棄、持續關注綠黨，並且用各種行動支持綠黨的夥伴。也要再次感謝今年所有站出來公開聲援、表態支持的各界意見領袖與社運團體。無論高牆是否倒下，綠黨都會堅持站在雞蛋這一邊。面對 2016 的挑戰，我們會與進步的社會價值並肩而行，為打開真正的第三勢力奮力向前。

選舉不是戰爭，政治不是輸贏，明天過後請大家開始參與綠黨、繼續監督綠黨。

【Green Party Taiwan post-election statement: Celebrating our 2 seat election victory!】

A big thank you to all Taiwanese voters who supported the Green Party, thank you to our good candidates andgood party - you are the trailblazers of Taiwan's new politics, and thank you to Taiwan society's voters!

The Green Party is a global environmental political party, our actions are local and are connected to Green parties in 91 countries around the world who share the same progressive values. Over the years the Greens have persisted in contesting elections to change Taiwan's political structures and core political values.

In Taiwan's 2012 legislative elections, the Green party won nearly 230,000 national party votes; although just below the 5% threshold for a congressional seat, Green Party Taiwan became Taiwan's fifth largest political party. Green Party Taiwan is convinced that Taiwan society needs a healing political party and good politics to mend the wounds in our land environment, social justice and democratic system. As a responsable generation we want a politics that can restore a normal relationship between political parties and people so that we can work together on Taiwan's development.

In early 2013 we continued to review and improve the party's operations and rooted ourselves in the direction of reform and good management. In preparation for the 2014 local elections we focused on increasing our long-term work in the local environment, leadership in local political issues, and Green Party membership among outstanding youth willing to join us for achieving political reform. For our candidates and partners we invited civil society organisations from across Taiwan's sectors to think together about Taiwan's major social issues, the developmental direction of new politics, and the practices of a good political party.

Green Party Taiwan's candidates are ordinary people leading regular lives working in their hometown. They are not from political families nor members of the political and business elite, they received very little funding for their work on progressing various social issues for their constituencies. To raise campaign funds candidates held small fundraisers that connected civil society groups to develop policy; they are full of courage and passion for their hometowns, every day they stood at street corners delivering speeches, riding campaign tricycles around the city, or spending years developing online communities to replace the conventional sea of costly large billboards and flags in the streets.

We are motivated to support our candidates to stand up because we want to show that the Taiwanese choose candidates with value-based concepts and that Taiwan society is willing to reject extravagance, shouting and vote buying in our elections. We want to show that Taiwan's politics can contain diverse values and a parliamentary debate free of corruption.

This year's local council election results show that breaking the big parties' dominance in resources, media attention and the existing structure of family influence, is still very difficult. We invite Taiwanese voters to reflect together on how we can build greater ability for social change and how to breakthrough rigid political factions and financial consortiums. Following wave after wave of large-scale social movements, how can we inspire people to return to all parts of Taiwan to break the two party monopoly and bring progressive ideas into local councils?

Green Party Taiwan will produce an election report as soon as possible and support the elected members Haoyu Wang (王浩宇) and Jay Chou (周江杰) to organise their parliamentary teams. Green Party Taiwan will double up our rigorous attitude, learning, and as an international political party innovate politics at the municipal level by implementing the concepts in the Global Greens Charter. We respect the commitments we made during the elections to voters and civil society, and maintain our convention on political representatives to be committed to public transparency in our records and reports. In the next four years, Green Party representatives will serve as civil society's window into Taoyuan and Hsinchu councils and maintain responsibility to all citizens.

For the constituencies where we have fallen short, we will humbly review and strive to meet your needs better in the future. Despite the Green Party's insufficient financial and human resources for providing a better support to candidates, Green Party candidates have still shown a tremendous enthusiasm and conviction for giving their candidacy a shot. We are grateful to our voters for continuing to believe in us and giving the Green Party this opportunity. We also urge all sectors of society to enourage these candidates, campaign teams and volunteers, as we believe they will continue to take root and to work with enthusiasm and motivation for opening up a new politics.

Tonight, we believe all our friends who have looked forward to a thriving Green Party are both happy and disappointed for the candidates who did not win a seat in government. We want to thank our partners who have for a long time not given up and continued to care and support in many ways for Green Party Taiwan. We want to thank again all the leaders and civil society groups from all sectors who have stood up publicly to express their solidarity with the Green Party. Regardless of whether the walls have fallen, Green Party Taiwan will persevere to stand up and face the 2016 electoral challenge, we will work with progressive social values to open up a real third force to move society forward.

Elections are not a war, politics is not winning or losing, after tomorrow please start participating in Green Party Taiwan and continue to watch us closely.
