  "textContent": "Regarding the use of Power Plants and Coal mines, I think it would be even more challenging (in a good way) to add some sort of electrical grid to complement the production of coal, and the consumption of said coal at the plants, that produce in kW-Electricity. I was thinking that there could be sub-stations set up. Ones that either come with the powerplant, or not, and power from the plant is stepped-up to be transferred through powerlines. These powerlines would carry it to be distributed and stepped-down in neighborhood sub-stations. To kind of show the flow, better explained, I'll share what I would like to be added:\n\nWhat could be added:\n- Sub-stations (Step-up & Step-down)\n- Transmission lines (powerlines that distribute the power from the plant, and substations)\n- (Anything not to complex relating to the energy grid, that could also be added, breakers, etc.)\n\nVisual of production, delivery, and consumption:\n- Coal to Power Plant\n- Power Plant produces electricity (in kW - kilowatts)\n- Power leaves through transformer - OR - Power leaves straight transmission lines (powerlines with higher voltage)\n- Power stepped down at substation\n- Power delivered to substation, and possibly distributed to homes/city\n\nStatistics: Posted by deluxemaster2209 — 11 May 2026 03:42\n\n* * *",
