Thermal Generators are a descendant of the old 20th century powerplants. Burning fossil fuels heats and boils water into steam, which spins generator turbines. Modern Advancements have allowed the water to be recycled, and more energy to be captured from the combustion process. Even with modern improvements, these generators still suffer from an 20% efficiency loss, reducing the amount of energy captured from fuel. Even with the efficiency loss, thermal generators are very compact, allowing only a few of them to [[Power_Grid|power]] large factories. In the same space that 2 [[Wind_Turbine|wind turbines]] take up, Thermal Generators produce over three times the power. They also run full time, unlike [[Solar_Panel|solar panels]] which are restricted to daytime operations. | |||
