I wonder, if a person really purchased this game, would they know what the internet is, how to access the internet, or where on the internet to download the patches, let alone what a patch is and what one would do with it (besides sew it onto your coverall's knees)?
Well, it would probably do ok in the South. Never underestimate the power of Rednecks or Hillbillies.
If the solar power stations were on the moon, a lunar eclipse would be problematic I think. A similar problem would occur with satellites in geosynchronous orbit. How would the world react to a global blackout?
It would be possible to build large power storage stations on Earth to act as a buffer, but I think this would be rather expensive.
I doubt this power system would be the only source of electricity on Earth, but a cheap supply of electricity would likely reduce the profitability of fossil fuel systems. Hydroelectric and wind based systems could still be used, but these are not available in some areas. I am not sure how these systems compare in expense.

I could always get one of those realistic flight sims the government uses to train fighter pilots.
