Currently Hydro/Power/Nuclear (and Hoover for Hydro) all give
the same effect, and you only get that effect _once_.
(Eg, if you built Power you get a production bonus; if in another
city you then build Hoover, the first city gets the Hydro/Hoover
pollution benefit, but it doesn't get any extra production bonus
over that provided by Power.)

I would have thought Solar Power would just join the
Hydro/Power/Nuclear group, rather than given an extra 
production bonus on top.
