In the formula for energy production the author uses the "x" symbol and the "*" symbol in the equation.  I am presuming that "x" is used to indicate multiplication, but that leaves it unclear as to whether "*" is being used as an alternate symbol for the same function or to indicate something else, perhaps "raised to the power of".

The "*" symbol is used consistently in the consumption equation, where it seems to represent multiplication (if it's exponentiation, then the consumption would be prohibitive, lol).  Could someone please clarify the output equation?  Thanks.

is there any significant advantage to the nuclear plant at lower levels?

It's cheaper to build a low-level nuclear plant than it is to build an additional level of Solar Array. You can adjust the power output (and therefore the hydrogen consumption) to provide that extra few power you need until you can get another Solar Satellite built, or expand your solar arrays. --Rob 13:48, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Production formula

In the formula for energy production the author uses the "x" symbol and the "*" symbol in the equation. I am presuming that "x" is used to indicate multiplication, but that leaves it unclear as to whether "*" is being used as an alternate symbol for the same function or to indicate something else, perhaps "raised to the power of".

The "*" symbol is used consistently in the consumption equation, where it seems to represent multiplication (if it's exponentiation, then the consumption would be prohibitive, lol). Could someone please clarify the output equation? Thanks.
