Context: So for these past decade or so, Myanmar has suffered blackouts rather frequently. Problem was, we have enough natural gas for everyone, but the exports (especially to China) was so excessive that we don't have enough for our OWN people.

It was then traced back to the power plants not having enough fuel to provide electricity, which turned out to be because they are exported to other countries. You are once again bothered by this problem in your candlelit office.
[option 1] "I've come to talk with you again!" said Simon @@RANDOMLASTNAME@@, your Minister of Energy, "Because now we got the darkness, and only now you all will listen to me!" He cleared his throat before going on, "Anyway, we have the fossil fuel reserves, so we should have the energy. Guess what? All those corporations like Conch and Epsilon Mobil are leeching our natural resources. They have too much of a free rein on our resources! For the greatness of our nation, you should bring nationalization into these depots. It's the only way we can be sure that we got what we have. Plus, think of the positive effects it might have - we only need to mine what we need! The excess can stay excess without selling them for the almighty.

[option 2] "Oh you fool- friends, you do not know," said @@RANDOMNAME@@, CEO of Conch, his belt about to unbuckle itself, "Those papers are utter bollocks. We promise to pay you back in cash… soon! Gave us more freedom to extract @@NATION@@'s resources. That way, we can abus- err, I mean, give more to your people, see? With that said… how about also giving us more action to freely frack your land? Those drills can only reach so far, you know!"

[option 3] "This all got me thinking, why haven’t we switched to clean energy yet?" wonders @@RANDOMFIRSTNAME@@ Starlight, cranking a bright and white dynamo-operated torchlight with her hands, "Why do we have to rely so much on these polluting sources of energy when there are other alternatives - solar, wind, geothermal… need I go on? So many options out there that would make these depleting resources obsolete. Bring on the solarpunk!" She then stopped operating the torchlight and cracked her knuckles.
[validity] Only for Low Eco-Friendliness and/or having no Alternative Energy.
[effect] @@CAPITAL@@ gets surplus energy during typhoons
[option 4] "Actually, I have a radical idea," intervenes a random citizen who smells very strongly of diesel, "If we can no longer rely on the government to provide the energy, why don’t we just get our own? See, I have a big generator back in my home, and these are all the rage in my neighbourhood. There were some noise and air pollution complaints for using these diesel-guzzlers, but they quickly shut up when I hook up their homes to my Giver of Power. I think you should give up on a power plant, and instead just encourage the use of generators. Hey, if these corporations love money so much, we might as well give it directly to them for a little power!"

[title] Hello Darkness, My Old Friend
[validity] Strong Mining Industry, Medium-High Foreign Aid, Cars Not Banned?, High Corruption,High Wealth Gap, Low Eco-Friendliness.
[desc] A huge headline took over the next morning’s newspapers when a huge accident in @@CAPITAL@@ resulted in 60 crashed cars, 88 injuries, and a roadside tree slightly uprooted. Investigators traced it back to the traffic lights and roadlights being disabled for a few hours, which was due to the power failure, which was in turn because the power plant did not have enough natural gas to run the infrastructure. You have once again been summoned to deal with this.
[option 1] "Well, so glad I’ve come to talk with you again," said Simon @@RANDOMLASTNAME@@, your Minister of Energy, "Now, what did I tell you people about this snowballing into this? I have warned you all, but do you all listen? Now we get the darkness!" He cleared his throat before getting back to the tangent, "Anyway, we have the natural gas, and we have the energy, but guess what? You decided to sell this stuff to Brancaland to benefit them AND use that money for yourself. @@LEADER@@, it’s time to cut ties with them and bring back our natural resources back to us if you want the sound of silence in your office."
[effect] @@NATION@@’s gas pipelines to other nations have been blown up
[option 2] "Wait, wait, you don’t want to do that, my friend," said @@RANDOMNAME2@@, an ambassador of Brancaland, who just had his 4th meal of the day, "You gotta see this as stupid and incompetent people not being able to navigate in total darkness. I will say, let Darwin take its course, and stick to giving us the natural gas that we so abus- err, I mean, need! With that said… how about giving us a discount on those jade that your mines produce?"
[effect] all @@NATION@@’s mines are belong to foreigners
[option 3] "This all got me thinking, why haven’t we switched to clean energy yet?" wonders @@RANDOMFIRSTNAME@@ Starlight, who navigated through your office with a dynamo-operated torchlight, "Why do we have to rely so much on this pollutanting source of energy when there are other alternatives like solar, wind, geothermal… need I go on? The point is, there are so many options out there that it would make these depletable resources obsolete. Bring on the solarpunk!"
[effect] @@CAPITAL@@ has been declared off-limits for planes due to the towering windmills
[option 4] "Actually, I got another idea," intervenes @@RANDOMNAME4@@, a citizen who owns his own generator, "If we can no longer rely on the government to provide the energy, why don’t we provide our own? These big generators are all the rage in my neighbourhood. Sure, there were some noise and air pollution complaints for using these diesel-guzzlers, but neighbors quickly shut up when I hook up their home to my power source. I think you should give up on a power plant, and instead install a generator for every home. Hey, if you can’t pay the petrol, it’s your own fault now."
[effect] citizens spend countless nights with insomnia while traffic light and streetlights are run by nearby neighbors
