Hammer Valley Hydro: Difference between revisions

Line 12:

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

After the construction of Two Gorges Dam, however, the company began facing financial issues from the expenses posed by the project. This was compounded when [[Stalburg Steel]], one of Hammer Valley Hydro's major clients, went bankrupt~~. This~~ shrunk the firm's revenue stream to almost nothing. With no other alternatives, Hartman was forced to sell the company. Initially, he intended to sell it to someone who may have been able to save the company, but they backed out at the last minute for unknown reasons. As a result, Hartman was forced to sell the company to the only other buyer, the Walter Corporation.

Hartman was hesitant to do so sell to Walter, however, aware that his two most prominent previous acquisitions, [[Stalburg Steel]] and the [[Bergmann Group]], had gone bankrupt not long after being bought out. The chain of events that followed led to incredibly unsafe living conditions and, supposedly, the death of Hartman's wife and only child. Following this tragedy, Hartman became incredibly unstable and paranoid, ordering the control room at Hammer Valley Dam to be remotely locked and directing security to inspect workers' lunchboxes. Six months after being bought out by Walter Corporation, on June 14th, 1982, Hammer Valley Hydro filed for bankruptcy. This resulted in increased unemployment and raised concerns among city officials over the future of the city's energy production. Hartman developed a deep hatred for Jeff Walter, holding him personally responsible for everything that had happened.
