*** information on the actor you play ***

You, the electric power company, play a very important
role to supply electric power demand in Kinki district
securely and stably.

*** aim of the actor you play ***

Of course energy-saving is very important, but  it is
necessary to construct more nuclear plants for Japan in
order to provide against increase of electric consumption,
if you consider that Japan is poor in minerals and energy
sources or that we have to save the global environment. Now
you are concentrating your efforts on developing solar
energy, geothermal heat energy, local area heat supplying
system, etc., but it is evident that increasing energy
demand in future is too much to supplement with these energy
sources. On the other hand, improving atomic energy is a
national policy. That is, additional reactors at the O town
nuclear plant needs to be constructed immidiately and, if it
fails, it becomes quite difficult for you to play the role
as stated above.
