Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
Oil’s Well That Ends Well
An offshore oil rig has exploded, spewing millions of barrels of petroleum into the South ANIMAL Sea.
I’ve encountered with many choices
1. “These oil companies must be held accountable for their reckless negligence!” yells environmentalist Heather Mendez, while scrubbing the oil off a dolphin. “We cannot let this environmental catastrophe continue! We must stop the oil spewage and restore the environment to its former glory! And as for those greedy fat cats who caused this mess, they should foot the cleanup bill!”
2. “Woah, woah… let’s not demonize the oil companies. It’s not like they want these spills to happen,” cautions Barry McAlpin, an investor in DrillBabyDrill Fund Management. “Think of what punitive measures would do to the economy. It’s an unfortunate situation, to be sure, but do we really want to put one of NATIONSNAME’s corporate stars out of business? That will only hurt us all. Let the government take care of the cleanup, like usual.”
3. “Those are just short-term solutions,” says solar engineer Kate Fraser with a distant look in her eye. “We should do everything we can to stop this leak AND invest in alternative energy. Who needs limited fossil fuels when you have solar, wind, and geothermal power? Don’t you want your children to live in a world free from the oily grasp of big business?”
4. “You’re looking at this the wrong way. This isn’t a problem; it’s a golden opportunity!” says theme park tycoon Tim Anderson, slicking back his hair. He continues: “Picture this: thousands upon thousands of tourists flocking to NATIONSNAME. Why are these people coming in droves, you ask? To see the one, the only Great ANIMAL Sea Oil Slick! Throw up a few more platforms, add some roller coasters, a few restaurants, tie it all together with a jolly mascot, and you’ve turned this unfortunate accident into a lucky break!”
