SimMars doesn't have wind turbines because of the very low density of the Martian atmosphere. Mars has an atmospheric pressure of less than 1% of Earth's, so having wind turbines on SimMars is pointless, right? Well, not exactly. In fact, it turns out that wind power is viable on Mars, according to NASA research. This video explains why and how.

What do you think? Do you think it's high time we add some futuristic wind turbines on the red planet?

"If you try to please everybody, you often times end up pleasing nobody, especially yourself. When somebody offers to do a favor for free, like making a mod for SimCity 4, you shouldn't be overly critical of something generously given to you. In other words, you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth." - Twilight Sparkle after playing SimCity

"Being a mayor or a content creator for SimCity 4 is a heavy responsibility, Patrick. Each city and each custom content is like a child, and must be treated as such." - SpongeBob Squarepants after playing SimCity

"Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible." - Frank Zappa

"The wisest men follow their own direction." - Euripides

Also those turbines can be used on earth, so the models could be also used for the main game. Maybe the only issue would be that the animated models can only occupy 16 cubic metres, so those could be too big to reproduce :/

"Let us be scientists and as such, remember always that the purpose of politics
is not freedom, nor authority, nor is any principle of abstract character,
but it is to meet the social needs of man and the development of the society"
