Hammer Valley Hydro: Difference between revisions

Hammer Valley Hydro was a company responsible for Stalburg's clean energy production and maintenance of its hydroelectric dams. The [[reserve2|Hammer Valley Dam]] and later, the [[Two Gorges Dam]].  

Following the construction of the Two Gorges Dam however, the company started to face financial issues from the expenses posed by the new dam. Furthermore, [[Stalburg Steel]], one of Hammer Valley Hydro's major clients, went bankrupt, shrinking Hammer Valley Hydro's revenue stream to almost nothing. With no other option, Hartman had to sell the company. Initially, he was going to sell it to someone who could of possibly saved the company, but he backed out at the last minute for unknown reasons. Hartman was forced to sell the company to the only buyer, the Walter Corporation.

Hartman was hesitant to do so, aware that Jeff Walter was already infamous after bankrupting Stalburg Steel and the Bergmann Group, but did so to at least get something from the acquisition. The subsequent chain of events however, led to incredibly unsafe living conditions and somehow the death of Hartman's wife and child. Hartman became incredibly unstable and paranoid after this, ordering the doors to the control room of the dam to be remotely locked and ordered security at the dam to inspect people's lunchboxes. Six months after the acquisition, on June 14th, 1982, Hammer Valley Hydro filed for bankruptcy. The repercussions of this caused unemployment and caused concern among city officials over the future of Stalburg's energy production. Hartman developed a deep hatred for Jeff Walter, holding him personally responsible for Walter Co.'s actions.
