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

What are you cooking in that huge microwave thonk

[-] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago

It's a rectenna for collecting space based solar power beamed to earth via microwave

FS Shifty + Stalefish Tweak into a (somewhat sloppy) Eggplant Nose Pick

[-] LocalOaf@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

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 nerd

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.

Microwave because space based solar rectennas are awesome and hilarious

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 20 points 2 weeks ago

Fusion bc that number is the biggest

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago

Wind Power, because I have a huge stockpile of aether crystals and a lot of faith.

Solar looks like a giant death ray pointed up to fire at God so naturally I choose that

[-] bumpusoot@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

Just flip the polarity on that bad boy and it might blow up the Sun

[-] Merkin_Muffley@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

I'm all in on that cleeeean coaaal.

Beautiful clean coal

I want to hug and kiss the handsome coal miners!

I'm spamming thousands of wind turbines all over the place

heh. let's see what aristotle47 says smuglord

what, do you disagree with aristotle47?

Counterpoint: Aristotle47 is a huge nerd

[-] MemesAreTheory@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Zuzak@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

I like fusion so I'm gonna go with the one on the bottom left

Fusion - It's shaped like a U. I want a power district that reads "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

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.

Solar + Arcologies comfy-cool

[-] Beaver@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

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).

I liked putting little wind turbines on hills

That and the solar death ray

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

Hydro since it looks like a lego and I'd imagine I can build lots of them.

Coal, because I'm developing and we all need to start somewhere. But that shit is getting yeeted at the first opportunity that presents itself.

Sure it's expensive, but how do you expect to beat Majin Buu without the Fusion power?

Oil, but it's okay because I purchase a tree for every carbon ton emittted or something trollface

I love that this game gave you so many choices of power plants, was mostly correct about their tradeoffs*, treated pollution as a thing that people actually might care about, and made room for some rando pie-in-the-sky idea with microwave power.

*Solar and wind power suck in SimCity 2000, but they legitimately were bad until the 2010s, and I can't really fault them for failing to predict that. It also overstates the chances of nuclear meltdowns by an order of magnitude (but whatever these games overstate the chances of Godzilla attacks too), and misses the extreme variability in how good hydro power is based on the site (which would be so fiddly, and I can't blame them, though it's funny that the best hydro site in SC2K is a long series of rapids, which is like the opposite of what you want).

rando pie-in-the-sky idea with microwave power

China is building this with a planned solar space station beaming energy via microwave to be completed by 2035
