This legislation provided substantial funding for the development and implementation of green technologies such as solar and nuclear power, aiming to phase out Timeria's dependence on oil.

However, during a pivotal rally in Forever Timeria, Grey delivered a speech that resonated deeply with these voters: “Change is coming, but it doesn’t mean leaving our farms behind. It means fighting for a future where farming remains a proud Timerian tradition for our children and their children.” This message helped him secure crucial support from the farming sector.

Grey also faced skepticism due to his biracial background and his relatively young age. However, these factors also galvanized the youth vote, leading to a record turnout of voters aged 18 to 25. His ability to inspire hope and confidence in Timeria's future was a hallmark of his leadership.
