The GasTrend Conspiracy is the fictional account of an attempted
takeover of a natural gas distribution company by a major city
through condemnation action and citizen vote. The reasons for the
attempted condemnation and ultimate ownership of GasTrend by the
city are the mayor's hatred of GasTrend and the city's declining
revenues due to an economic downturn.
The initial gas company crisis begins when a county road grader
slips on an icy ridge in below zero weather. The grader slides
through a bridge railing and cuts open the high-pressure natural
gas line feeding gas to the city. The ensuing explosion and fire
consumes the road grader, kills the operator, and prevents new
natural gas from flowing into the city, thus, endangering residents
because soon there will be no heat. Something must be done quickly
or the residents could freeze.
In order to own and operate the gas company, the mayor
convinces some legislators to introduce a bill in the State House
that would allow condemnation action. This would insure that they
would also pay for all of the expenses of the action and the
subsequent election. How can they get the natural gas business back
on track so that it is working for the people and not against
them?
