Governor displayed pictures of the state's major metropolitan areas, at night, with brightly-lit skylines and remarked upon their beauty. He then displayed pictures of working families, smiling as they held what was to be a lower monthly electrical bill. While listening to the governor, Niko thought about other, less favorable images that could be shown. For example, the Harvard School of Public Health revealed that SO2 emissions from power plants significantly harm the cardiovascular and respiratory health of people who live near the plants, and EPA studies identified fine particle pollution from power plants as responsible for more than 20,000 premature deaths a year. Why not show pictures of smoke pouring from the smokestacks? Why not show pictures of persons on oxygen? Why not show pictures of the many children who suffered?
