台塑六輕取水問題再度引發爭議，2013年環評大會要求六輕提出尾水再利用、雨水回收、海水淡化等3個方案，紓解其對雲林地區的大量用水，但今年六輕僅提出計畫在新虎尾溪附近設「湳子工作站」的方案，且遭雲林台西居民抗議抽取農業用水。因此今年環評大會組決議，六輕需在明年8月底前完成替代水源的運轉，否則將違反《環評法》。
六輕在雲林除了大量抽取雲林地區的水源惡化地層下陷，其對汙染賠償的態度也儼然成為「第二個RCA」。由於在法律訴上極難證明汙染與居民罹癌有直接相關，六輕常以「罹癌可能由居民不良健康習慣所致」迴避賠償責任。民眾求償無門，農業生計也被工業用水犧牲，以此交換台灣工業成長的輝煌。或許我們早該思考進步的代價，進步使全民受益，成本卻由極少數人承擔，著實不符合科技倫理。除非共享對於科技的恐懼，否則很難理解雲林居民在發展與環保，社群進步與個人生活間的倫理掙扎，這是社會強加於其的病態義務與愧疚感。

Formosa Plastics Group (FGP) over water source issue once again induced controversy. Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) demanded FGP to complete and try out its alternative water source including the reuse of the tailwater, rainwater recycling and desalination in order to relieve its heavy consumption of water in Yunlin area.However, FGP has only come up with a new project that aims to recycle water from Sinhuwei River and set up “Nanzih Work Station”. Moreover, this project has been protested against by residents in Yulin County’s Taisi Township for extraction of agricultural water.Therefore, EPA committee decided that FGP must complete alternative water source project, or FGP will violate the Environmental Impact Assessment Law.
FGP not only cause more severe land subsidence by groundwater overdraft but have arrogant attitude toward pollution compensation that almost makes it become the ” second RCA”. Because it is extremely hard to prove that pollution have direct correlation to cancer, FGP often evade compensation duty by claiming that cancer may be caused by unhealthy habits.Residents found no access to compensation, and their agricultural living has become the victim of industrail water use for further prosperity in Taiwanese industry.Maybe we should already start ponder on the fruit of advancement, which benefits most citizens while very few people suffer from the painful cost.This violate the technology ethics. Unless we share the fear of technology altogether, or it’s tough to understand the ethical contradiction between development and environment,community’s benefit and individual’s dignity. All of these distorted obligation and destined guilt are what society imposed on the residents of Yunlin.
