Good for the town, I think. But what if I told you I could make it even better? I’m sure you know that power plants use a lot of ground water, which can cause the land to sink.

Personally, I wouldn’t want to either. Seems better this way. And not just because I sell flood insurance. I mean, I do, but no levees means a free river! A free river means more sediments, more fertile soil! And the money…you know, if you want in on something, I can cut you a deal.

Yeah, I know the whole thing about flooding and such. But flooding isn’t so bad. Just get some insurance, and bam! Perfectly fine.
