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
Oil, but it’s okay because I purchase a tree for every carbon ton emittted or something
Coal, because I’m bad at simcity and can never upgrade my power supply properly and just keep building them until the city dies because of massive pollution.
Wind. I like my power plants like I like my men: clean, petite, and it takes dozens to get the job done
is for Gas.
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.
Civil engineers HATE this One Weird Trick!
I liked putting little wind turbines on hills
That and the solar death ray
Solar looks like a giant death ray pointed up to fire at God so naturally I choose that
Just flip the polarity on that bad boy and it might blow up the Sun
No I won’t… It’s the police.
Coal
What are you cooking in that huge microwave
A huge hamster but please don’t tell Weird Ed Edison.
DON’T PUT THE HAMPTER IN THE MICHAELWAVE
It’s a rectenna for collecting space based solar power beamed to earth via microwave
Yeah, obviously.
It’s not really obvious to anyone who hasn’t heard of the concept
Is this actually what a ‘microwave’ would be in this context? I don’t know about this kind of stuff so not sure if this is a joke
It would be transfered via microwaves, that is, EM waves with micrometer frequencies.
FS Shifty + Stalefish Tweak into a (somewhat sloppy) Eggplant Nose Pick
An eggplant is a handplant variation lip trick while a nosepick is a BS disaster into an overcrook stall instead of a lipslide stall, therefore making an eggplant nosepick impossible
You probably meant a beanplant, which is a boneless variation where the board is popped like a no comply into a nosegrab before the footplant instead of an earlygrab indy footplant jump.

I love how fucking goofy skate trick names are
Like “dudeeeee did you see that fakie disco flip to seatbelt grab salad grind?!”

we found him everybody we found the skate nerd

The Only Thing They Fear Is Carnitas
Birds?
I don’t know if the power density would actually be high enough to cook birds… but I don’t really care to check because it’ll never be built in reality so real-world performance is irrelevant, and sci-fi maser satellites are cool. Unless you’re a bird.
I like fusion so I’m gonna go with the one on the bottom left
But they’re all fusion powered. (Except maybe the middle one, and even that is arguable.)
I don’t understand stuff, but how is a windmill fusion?
Fusion powers the sun, sunlight makes earth air go zoom
I think it’s an oblique reference toward the fact that the sun is the source of nearly all available energy on earth.
So it’s also all solar power. Gotcha
Fusion bc that number is the biggest
Microwave because space based solar rectennas are awesome and hilarious
