8. Renewable energy
The residents of a small island in the Pacific need your help… their only power station, a gas-fired station has only 5 more years to run before it is decommissioned.
You have to plan their power generation for the next 50 – 100 years, for as cheap, as safe, as easy, and unobtrusive as possible.
YOU have to decide what is important. YOU are the boss. YOU will make the decisions to shape lives.
Don’t let the power go to your head!
