Originally, the city government had planned to build a nuclear power plant, but a small minority of citizens staged a series of loud protests. It was explained that this new reactor design was completely safe, would provide cheap energy, and would not harm the environment. Unfortunately, they refused to listen and continued their loud protest.
Because of the complaining, the government was forced to erect a natural gas power plant instead. Although this plant is relatively clean, high natural gas prices have driven the cost of electricity through the roof. Of course, those same environmentalists (the ones that protested the nuclear plant) now are protesting the high cost of energy.
When the BrickTopia train is running, especially large amounts of power are required
