Abstract

This paper deals with energy policy for carbon neutrality and stable energy supply from 2017 to the present. In the case of the Republic of Korea, there is a tendency for major energy policy to swing sharply between nuclear power and renewable energy whenever the ruling party changes. This study will examine South Korea’s chronic energy policy dilemma and explore policy alternatives to overcome it.
