Two Opposing Views of Social Responsibility (Scenario)
The board of directors of Acme Generating Corporation is meeting to consider the construction of a new electricity generation facility somewhere along the Muspetan River basin. The city of Muspetan has a high Air Pollution Index and the increasing amount of garbage is adding to the city's woes.

He wants the plant to be located near the downtown government area so that the steam could be used for heating the government buildings after it has passed through the generating turbines.
