Alt. Power Plant CEO

Alternative Power Plant Executive Officer

You family has been involved with power plants for generations.� Your father 
and grandfather were workers in a hydroelectric plant, their grandfathers 
worked in coal mines and there are even rumors that a relative of yours was 
the first to make fire and use it as a source of heat and light.� 
Manipulating energy to create heat, light and modern conveniences is 
something you were born to do and you know it better than anyone.
