Infinitely many points, but zero length.

-MICROWAVE POWER-

Date Available: 2020
Output in Megawatts: 1,600
Cost: $28,000

An orbiting satellite around the Sun collects solar energy. It then
beams it back down to the plant, harnessing it and making it usable to
the public. That is how microwave power works. But there are occasions
where the beam misses and hits the neighborhood instead, torching it
and destroying the plant, not to mention cutting off power to everyone.
This is what could happen to you and your city if you play with
disasters enabled. But is also very inexpensive, while not looking like
that at first glance. It only costs $17.50 per megawatt of power; you
can compare that to the $40 that gas power costs. It is also very, very
clean, producing no pollution whatsoever. Microwave power is a good
idea for huge cities with gigantic power needs, and very little space,
but have a large cash reserve.
