  6. When playing the game i learned that its hard to keep the air clean when the power plants are pollution so much. I also realized that its hard to make everyone happy. Something that makes people happy is going make other people mad. While trying to make everyone happy you need to watch the money your spending.

  7. When playing this game I learned that it's hard to instantly go green for energy plants because they are expensive. They also aren't as efficient as a coal burning plant so it's hard to rely on wind power solely. Another thing is that its hard to please everybody in the town since some don't want a powerplant near them even if it is energy efficient.
    I agree with Bryant on how its hard to maintain good air quality when there are a lot of power plants that pollute the air.

  34. sometimes more energy and efficiency doesnt mean more money and neither dow keeping everyone happy. i agree with siera

  35. Certain environments call for certain methods of creating power. Balancing the environment as well as producing to necessary levels only serve to complicate the problem as a whole, but is a necessary stipulation when managing the environment. And lastly, trying too hard to switch to better methods can serve to hurt, not improve, if done without care.

  39. I learned three things from playing this game, that cities need to use certain strategies to proved itself with enough energy but not run out of money, it must keep its economy going strong or it will fall, and it needs to plan out how it will power itself according to how large the city is. I agree with Gabby, more energy doesn't necessarily have to mean more money.
