    Crank it up to 11 12, there’s profit to be made.

    ETA Another likely scenario:

    George: Hey, Ron, you know that maintenance we’ve been putting off because line must go up ?

    Ron: Yeah…

    George: Wouldn’t it be terrible if something happened and the government had to pay for it to be fixed real fast…

    Ron: Heh heh heh.

    The best punchline would be if the government nationalized it as well due to negligence of critical infrastructure…

    Would also send a great message to the power companies about line maintenance. But I’m (probably) dreaming, I’ll send it out into the aether anyway.

    Getting strong Frostpunk vibes from when I overloaded The Generator, and left it going just a bit too long. Its plausible the refinery was running close to its production limits given the situation. Environment Victoria blamed aging infrastructure so a combination of factors seems possible. It first opened in 1954.
