How to Prevent Profit from a Climate Disaster

At Disaster, Incorporated, our job is to mitigate the worsening effects of climate change... by capturing excess natural disasters and selling their energy!

Capture the Wind

• Build technological marvels that protect the from disasters!
• Sell the captured energy to power buildings!
• Expand the city - and our customer base!
• Hit revenue targets like a good executive!

Solar Panels on Every Rooftop

…are a threat to our business model! Sure, our priority is quarterly revenue, not quality service. But if we let too many homes go unpowered, the nobodies might start to get dangerous ideas about grassroots solutions like community energy co-ops.

 Maintain a baseline level of service if you can. And if you can't? Well you could always let a disaster or two slip through the defenses...

Climate Justice

Sorry that's a misprint. Climate? Just Us! Yes the planet is getting destroyed, but for this beautiful moment in time we're creating a lot of value for shareholders.

Couldn't we apply this incredible technology to fight or even reverse climate change? Maybe, but where's the profit in that? Maximizing atmospheric carbon is good for business!

Tips

• Drag around to find an ideal spot to place a building (indicated by a yellow beam). Buildings need flat terrain without ponds, hills, or other buildings.
  
• Don't place wind turbines too close to tall buildings - their reach is bigger than their footprint!
  
• Rotate the map for a better view by clicking and dragging with no buildings selected.
  
• An out-of-control fire is a dangerous thing! In case of emergency, call in an airtanker with the fire button. But keep in mind, it's not free!
