ZE Energy Production ? What is the most efficient way to provide for energy needs? | SOURCE | LEV | OUPUT | METAL | CRYSTAL | DEUT | INPUTS | O:I RATIO | REMARKS | |-----------------+-----+-------+-------+---------+------+--------+-----------+------------------| | Solar plant | 15 | 2506 | 32842 | 13136 | | 45978 | 0.0545 | | | Fusion reactor | 3 | 226 | 7200 | 2880 | 1440 | 11520 | 0.0196 | Consumes 80 Deut | | Solar satellite | 10 | 216 | 50 | 500 | 250 | 800 | 0.27 | | Conclusion: Solar atellites currently provide the greatest energy output for resources input. However, the vulnerability of solar satelites to attack cancels out the productivity advantage.
