The Save Lo Sheng Sanatorium campaign has developed into 200 bloggers joint action. In less than 18 hours, the bloggers got 150,000(TWD) for posting an ad in apple daily news to express their anger towards the state violence and the mainstream media's lack of coverage on the issue.
The action is initiated by HeMiDEMi, and supported by many bloggers who wanted to save the neglected news back to the frontpage in the newspapers. Coolloud has a detailed report (zh).

Lastly, he suggests that instead of promoting a “pacific use” of nuclear energy, this should be replaced with clean energy sources (such as the geothermal or the aeolian ones).
