Montbray, infamous as the “Murder Capital No.1,” is a city seemingly abandoned by the gods. Its power comes from a gas plant in nearby Lewiston, controlled by the monopolistic Montbray Metro Electrics, while an old coal plant survives, less for energy than for the jobs it preserves.

Progressive mayoral candidate Miranda pledges to close the coal plant and transition the city to renewable energy, solar, hydro, and wind, while temporarily relying on gas to keep citizens employed and the lights on.

Conservative Robert defends the coal plant, stressing its reliability and low costs, warning that Miranda’s plan could destabilize both the energy grid and the local economy.

The debate erupts as citizens shout, “Tax the rich!” or “The coal plant is my livelihood!” Miranda champions fairness and long-overdue justice, while Robert stands firm on pragmatism and economic stability.

Montbray watches from homes and screens, torn between the promise of a greener, sustainable future and the security of long-standing jobs. The city’s energy future and the path its citizens will take remain unresolved, the tension palpable and the stakes high.
