every time somebody starts talking about power plants i go back to the seeds of my liberal poisoning ----- sim city 2000

anyways, i choose the microwave plant so i can do really sick tricks on my deck in that massive dish

Wind. I like my power plants like I like my men: clean, petite, and it takes dozens to get the job done

Solar because it takes up so much space that I can stop worrying about this liberal zoning nonsense or “make a police station to reduce crime” bullshit and focus on just being one huge solar farm.

Bottom center. Orbital solar is going to be the energy source of fully automated luxury gay space communism. Especially if we can’t get fusion to work (there’s no guarantee that reactor based fusion will ever be feasible, the laws of physics don’t owe it to us).

Hydro Electric = 200Mw for $4000 which is $20 per Mw.

This is more efficient than all others available at the start while also being clean.

Replace it later with Microwave when acquired because it is marginally cheaper. $17.5 per Mw

Replace it later again with Fusion at $16 per Mw.

I’m guessing hydro-electric also requires a water supply.

Yes it can only be built on waterfall tiles. This however can be landscaped by the player by simply making a hill and placing water on it.
