Your Feature Request / Idea
I would like if there was different types of power stations that need different power sources. These can be:
fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas: This is the most reliable source of energy and the best way to get power to your park. However using these can harm your star rating due to polluting the air in the park.
nuclear power: these run on nuclear energy and these can be devastating if they get blown up. If they do blow up in the game many buildings around the plant would need repairing.
Solar, wind, wave and hydroelectric: Solar power is the most reliable but when it gets to night then they shut down. I believe this cannot be added to the game because of the complexity it would take to add it to the game. Wind power can be added to the game with wind turbines that spin. This can be reliable but I think it would be difficult to "stop the wind". A better option is to have the power plant change it's power output at different times to signal wind changes. Wave and hydroelectric power stations will require a river running down the park to deliver power to buildings. This will make the park look nicer but can be annoying due to limited terrain tools. To deliver the power to buildings it would require a reworking of the buildings to let water go into the building.
The power stations that are clean for the environment will give off a positive rating to the park while the power stations that are harmful for the environment will give off a negative rating to the park.
I believe there are many more ways to giving power to stations but these are the main ones.
