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 
Wind. I like my power plants like I like my men: clean, petite, and it takes dozens to get the job done
No I won't... It's the police. 
is for Gas.
don't forget wind power
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
What are you cooking in that huge microwave 
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
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?!"
:
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).
Just looked this up. Why aren't we doing this! Get that removed elon to send the satellites off, do something useful for a change. Do that and we'll all start calling Twitter X.
Microwave because space based solar rectennas are awesome and hilarious
Fusion bc that number is the biggest
I liked putting little wind turbines on hills
That and the solar death ray
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!
Coal
I'm all in on that cleeeean coaaal.
Beautiful clean coal
I want to hug and kiss the handsome coal miners!
Gimme the nuclear wind combo.
Nukes make windmills spin faster giving them a boost in output.
Fusion - It's shaped like a U. I want a power district that reads "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Wind Power, because I have a huge stockpile of aether crystals and a lot of faith.
I'm spamming thousands of wind turbines all over the place
heh. let's see what aristotle47 says
what, do you disagree with aristotle47?
DEBATE DEBATE DEBATE DEBATECounterpoint: Aristotle47 is a huge nerd
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.
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

Whoaaaah cool.
They're putting a pie (satellite) in the sky (orbit).
