Truth in advertising = this blog post is not about energy resources of the earth.
Why the title? It was the name of a college course I took in a previous life, fun class, I really enjoyed it.
What is this really about? Energy resources in YA4XSG (Yet Another 4X Space Game).
So far, I have:
fossil fuels (petroleum, coal, tar sands)
solar
nuclear (the dirty kind)
fusion
anti-matter
Each system has a rating for fossil fuels, some don't have any, some have a lot. Petroleum has to be refined before use, so you have to build refineries.
Fuel is also required for nukes, it can be mined (e.g., uranium ore)
The real reason to research anti-matter is to develop warheads for missiles so that when Gene Luck Pickerd and his buddies show up on your doorstep, you can put some serious hurt on them. Anti-matter energy is just a side bonus.
