As a kid, I was really confused about how a 'microwave' power plant (SimCity 2K) could turn microwaves into energy. I mean, they use energy, so like, do they produce more than they use? Is that how my food is cooked? Why isn't everyone doing this? We could be generating power and cooking food at the same time! And why is it also a satellite? Can it get satellite TV?! This thing is so multi-purpose it's unbelievable!
