Kn, I answered Lywenta's query last night. Respond when you wish.
Teammates, I think it got glossed over, but In character I asked you guys to join me in a meeting with the lord 2 days after the zombie caress incident. I'd have gone over much of my proposal for him with you guys that night, which mostly revolves around finding ways to bring in the best aspects of modern tech without the worst. Starting with a hydroelectric powerplant. Its not a short term project, but it is one that the basics for can be started soon.
I'd be asking you three to bring what practical knowledge you have to the table, which is probably more than you might think at first. While also acting as a foil to me. I'd have no particular desire to see this place despoiled, but I must admit I'm a little more likely to compromise a bit here and there. I'd want a few guardians of nature to keep such compromises in check. Anything you would like to bring up before that mess gets started?
Kn, in regards to this proposal, I intend to write it up from what I remember of the principles. Then after the discussion I'll look things up and let you know if I made a mistake that will throw a wrench in the works. Fair enough?
Yeah, I think that got lost in the commotion. I'll tell you, Den would be very leery of this, seeing it as a slippery slope. I'd need a lot of convincing.
Slippery slope is exactly why I'd want him involved from the start. I'm aware that this will have consequences.
The thing is, and the reason I'd be willing to bring it up at all, pollution is ultimately an economic problem. Going green isn't cheap in the real world. But magic makes the economics of such efforts a heck of a lot easier. For example, if my brother the nukee were involved, zero risk and zero waste nuclear power would be both possible and cheaper than the real thing thanks to some new tricks available via spells, we could easily bypass petroleum based products entirely, and if I can get to a high enough level to make a few polymorph any object schemas, we could even do it all while ceasing all mining operations and eliminating what waste this community already outputs.
All in all, I want to provide a good tech base that would benefit as many as possible. It won't all be pretty, but it can be a heck of a lot better than what we know.
