MONTREAL – After seeing the company’s revenue decline in previous years, Hydro-Quebec’s decision to use a freeze ray to chill the province has resulted in a massive income boost.
The ray, which was designed by Dr. Victor Fries in collaboration with a team of evil geniuses from Bombardier, works by firing a concentrated beam of ice into the atmosphere, effectively lowering temperatures province wide.
The plan proved wildly successful for the utilities company as temperatures stayed bone-chillingly low for the bulk of the winter, forcing many to crank up their thermostats. This increased energy consumption led to a massive surge in revenue and Hydro-Quebec officials could be heard laughing maniacally as they watched profits soar to $1.8 billion.
Following this success, the company is rumoured to be working on a heat ray, hoping to increase revenue from excessive air-conditioner use.
