Better than causing air and water pollution. Cheap , clean , powerful. I think EA thinks half-fast when it comes to power.

What is the life expectancy? Why so expensive to bulldoze (a nuclear plant only costs $1,800, though that is likely ridiculously low)? Why such a high power output? Something closer to the coal or oil would be more realistic. But it looks great and is a gret idea!

ORIGINAL! Geothermal uses the heat of the deep crust or near mantle to make power, but also a ridiculously high output. I will track this lot.

Hmmm. It may be high,, but use it wisely and place it in the mountains and you can pretend that there is Volcanis activity in thearea to justify the power output. Why not tie it in with the realistic smoking Volcano lot (with hidden power pack). That's how I'm going to use it.

Too much power output. Coal/oil plants use the same turbine techniques with higher temperatures. Thermal plants should output less, but still remain cost effective and clean.

This is more like it, although to be realistic you should only use one Geothermal plant in a region near where you designed a fault or formerly volcanic area in God Mode.

Cannot bulldoze or blow up this lot when needed to. I like the cleanliness of the lot but is there an error that won't let me get rid of it? Also looking at it I notice I don't even see the whole lot like you have it pictured. I just see the holes and the brown buildings.

Nice! I was thinking of this as I browsed the Utility files. I live in Baja California, Mexico, we produce electricity this way from a volcano called Cerro Prieto: 7,500 gigawatts/hr. Found some pics at www.sandiegogeologists.org/Geothermal3.html & www.douglasenergy.com/project_6.html.

it wont let you bull doze it. and there seems to be a glitch that if you have any building surrounding it it doesnt work. if u can get the probs fixed it would rock
