Question: why not do something thats kinda been staring everybody in the face for an uber long time? first off, thanks to Combine, we have a list of working, and Theoretically possible power sources. Among them are both Nuclear power, and fossil fuel power generation, and for those that need it spelled out, a nuclear power plant (which would make more sense then a tokomak, cause they kinda do degrade over time, to my knowledge, but I could very easily be mistaken), coal power plant, or an oil power plant.
yes... I actually got these ideas from playing far too much SimCity 2000...sue me.
Nuclear power, obviously provides large amounts of power whereas coal or oil...well, I'm not up on my research so I dont know how much they would make relative to a nuclear power plant, but yeah...
personally, I think that since Eden has GeoCons, and Plymouth (had) MHD's, the third colony, whatever its called, could more then easily benefit from nuclear power.
and just cause I have also been playing too much Command and Conquer, would Telsia Coils not be ale not be used as a power source in some way?
