I agree ... or better yet, why can't they just build a good old coal plant at the top? The stats speak for themeselves:
Coal Power Plant
Year Available: 1900
Price: §5,000
Output: 6,000 MW-h
Price per MW-h: §0.83
Lifespan: 70 years
Total Value: 1.19
Comments Creates extremely high amounts of pollution.
Wind Power Plant
Year Available: 1980
Price: §250
Output: 200 MW-h
Price per MW-h: §1.25
Lifespan: 120 years
Total Value: 1.04
Comments Must be placed at high elevations for full output.
There's no way in hell I'm paying an extra .42 sim-bucks for my electricity. |
Haha, now I know how you've been wasting away your holiday break. I picked me up a copy of simcity delux too... how spokey.:nervous:
its full of coal plants.. not a hippie power station to be seen, and cities full of dirty industry, they all have negative envrionment ratings MUHAHAHAHA |

I like the new design. :) At first I thought it would be better just to go back to the old structure, but then after contemplating it for a bit, I came to the realization that if we created a brand new construction, it could be percieved as America saying "If you choose to knock us down we shall partake in the opportunity to make ourselves better" or something to that effect. :toothless

DrUg_Tit0 you dont need a full sunny day to get power, i know of some cloudy and foggy areas that have solar panels and produce electricity, of course not at its full potential. |
I know, that's why I calculated the worst case scenario. On a sunny day you'd need only about 45m^2 of those solar panels to power up your home, or 22m^2 of good but expensive monocrystal solar panels.

Well, here's a good thing about a nuclear power plant - you can build it underground, so that the terrorist attacks don't harm it. I say go for the nuke. And build some AA guns up there just in case.

Ah, comrade Yoepus, I see you're building your cities in the good old soviet style. |

Definitely an interesting design. I guess such a building should be erected, if not for the WTC, then for something else. |

Well, then you have 2 options.
1. Secure the nuke with AA flak cannons and missiles.
2. Build a coal power plant instead. |

Freedom Tower, my arse!!
Nice building, and i'm with America 100% on this, it looks great. But surely they could come up with a better name?? Renaming french toast/fries was bad enough, but the "Freedom Tower" is just asking to be plowed into by a 737...
:haha: |
