Utilities

[erikist]

There should be a standard set of utilities(coal power plant, oil power plant, natural gas power plant, nuclear power plant) provided in every city like Media Firms that require natural resources(coal, oil, natural gas, uranium) which may require processing in a factory(oil refining, natural gas refining, uranium processing) with the option for the player to build these. Utilities would inherently be expensive, and all firms should consume electricity in varying quantities from them. Obviously, factories would consume the most, with retail consuming the least presumably.

Agreed; this would also hopefully fix the ridiculously small demand for oil and coal.
