====== Potential Power Sources ====== ====== Potential Power Sources ======
-**Water**: Clean, reliable, and harmless the environment, except for the ecosystems of the fish that this habitat disrupts. Clark County Nevada is may be a desert on its surface, but in its ancient times, it was underwater, and much of that water still remains underground. Finding a way to utilize it could lead to a useful power source. +**Water**: Clean, reliable, and harmless to the environment, except for the ecosystems of the fish that this habitat disrupts.

-**Wind**: Of all the effects to environment, Wind power is the least. Wind has really no consequences at all for using it, and does provide a fairly decent amount of power. A wind farm located on the outskirts of the city could provide sufficient power.+**Wind**: Of all the effects energy harnessing may have to the environment, Wind power is the least. Wind has really no consequences for using it, and provides adequate amount of power. A wind farm located on the outskirts of the city could provide sufficient power to supply a good percentage of the city.
-**Solar Power**: Solar Power uses Solar Panels, better known as photovoltaic cells, to convert sunlight into electrical energy. Southern Nevada seldom rains and its bright summers will provide a very beneficial source of power for Atlas city. The main concern is that solar panels are very expensive to construct. If we can find a way to make the construction more cost efficient, this will probably be our choice of power. +**Solar Power**: Solar power uses solar panels, better known as photovoltaic cells, to convert sunlight into electrical energy. Most of the world receives adequate sunlight to effectively run these panels and will provide a very beneficial source of power for Atlas city. The main concern is that solar panels are very expensive to construct. If we can find a way to make the construction more cost efficient, this will probably be our choice of power.
-**Rodin Coil**: The Rodin Coil is a highly theoretical device that when completed can provide hundreds of years of power. It can be thought of as a reverse form of magnetism to utilize power through a unique design of a magnet coil, known as the Rodin Coil. Atlas Oversight Member Rob Bell is currently conducting research in this. Contact him for more info.+**Rodin Coil**: The Rodin Coil is a highly theoretical device that, when completed, can provide hundreds of years of power.
