### facility | station:

Power plant
* All power plants have turbines and generators.
* Many power plants have small dams that diverts water into their cooling intakes
  - run on natural gas
* Many power plants use coal with a relatively high concentration of sulfur as fuel
  - fans to convey pulverized coal to the boiler
  - the process to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions
* Most power plants are big boilers that burn a fuel to make heat
  - part of grids
  - burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil or natural gas
* Most power plants make electricity with a machine called a generator
* Most power plants produce energy
* Most power plants use a combination of open and closed feedwater heaters
  - burn gases
  - coal, natural gas, oil or a nuclear reactor to create steam
  - natural gases
  - nuclear energy
  - water or another type of liquid based formula
* Some power plants are capable of generating electricity from multiple fuels
  - have boilers
* Some power plants produce electricity
  - enough electricity
  - provide sanctuaries
* Some power plants use coal
  - fission fusion
* Some power plants use nuclear energy
  - uranium
  - water or wind to spin the generator
* are also a leading source of mercury, a toxin that poisons our fish and waterways
  - the largest remaining source of mercury emissions to the air
  - devices
  - open air
* are responsible for one-half of carbon dioxide emissions in New Mexico
  - thirty-four percent of all mercury emissions
* are the biggest source of air pollution in Slovenia
  - largest known unregulated source of mercury air pollution in the nation
  - only unregulated source of toxic mercury air emissions
  - tools for harvesting nature
* burn coal as a fuel in order to produce steam
  - mountains of coal each year
* burning fossil fuels are the largest source of manmade mercury emissions
  - natural gas produce less carbon dioxide than coal burning plants
* contribute to problems.
* depend on piping for natural gas, water and steam
  - upon volume of falls only
* emit large volumes of nitrogen oxides, a key ingredient of smog and particle pollution
  - one-quarter of the nitrogen oxide emissions in the state
* fly ash and boiler ash have raw material characteristics.
* generate electricity from numerous mechanical methods
  - the cell's energy
* have complex computer control systems
  - the potential for an enormous pollution impact of the air
* limit energy losses by transmitting electricity at high voltages.
* make energy
  - power so the city can have electricity
  - state prisons look like better neighbors, even after the inmates escape
  - units of energy, needed by other facilities, and also needed to fly ships
* pump thousands of pollutants into the air each year.
* raise air, land and water quality issues.
* release both sulfuric acid and sulfur dioxide into the air from their stacks
  - sulfur dioxide and oxidized nitrogen, which form acids in the atmosphere
* require amounts.
* suck in trillions of gallons of water to cool their turbines.
* transform one form of energy into a very useful form, electricity
  - another form, electricity
* use burn gases
  - hydrogen to produce energy
* use natural gas as a fuel to generate electricity
  - the energy produced from flowing water
  - vast amounts of water which are converted to steam by the thermonuclear reaction
  - water to cool their machinery
  - wood waste to generate electricity
+ SimCity, Gameplay: 1989 video games
  * At the start, the player has to build power plants. Power plants make power so the city can have electricity. By building power lines, power is connected to the different areas of the city. Water needs to be pumped in from a river using pipes to connect them to the city.
