I have a business proposal for you.

How do you feel about clean, self-sustaining energy?

I don't know what Pepper's told you about me - only good things, I'm sure. But back on our home planet, I recently constructed a sky scraper for my tech company that's powered by its own independent arc reactor, capable of sustaining the tower for a year without any cost to the city. That was just a test run, but given adequate space, cash and resources, I could easily construct a series of reactors to power the city for at least a year before the palladium has to be replaced. (I mean vibranium would be better, but I'm not sure if you have that here.)

Anyway. It's green, it's self-sustaining, and while initial costs are high, long-term costs would actually be lower than nuclear power without the risk of another Chernobyl situation. Cleaner than fossil fuels. Vasty less damaging to the environment than the materials used for solar panels, and I'm sure you already know the limitations of wind energy. Since there's no cost to run it, it will pay for itself in less than a year, which would allow you to lower city-wide energy costs in less than two. (Or I guess you could keep them where they are and pocket the difference, I don't know your life.) And you know exposure presents no risk, because I've been living with one inside my chest for the last several years, and I'm still around to tell you about it.

Let's talk.
