I have alot of people that ask me what the difference is between a wind to solar, and a solar to fusion. Since I only use wind generators, I can't answer this when they ask me to build them for them. Can someone easily explain advantages and how much the cost to maintain, etc. Any info is appreciated.

Wind operates with a max rate of 5. Solar operates at a max rate of 7 so the solar is obviously much faster and stil taking only one lot. To top it off the solar has teh SAME maintennce rate as wind so you get the power much cheaper.

Nukes mine at a max rate of 13 but i'm not sure what the cost is on them.

Solar actually is 8 Kg/Hr with the same maintence rates as a wind.

All generators have the same maint. 1440/day.

I have a question related to this.

How does the PE (Potential Engergy) rating of the energy factor in? I've noticed, with wind, that the PE varies greatly. Does this mean I will have to put much more energy into a harvester if that energy's PE rating is low? This could be a benefit of solar or fusion - maybe their PE is much higher, so that it doesn't take as much of it to fuel the harvesters?
