After coming in use, and every hour after that, the owner of that building loses fuel equal to its power cost. It remains in use until its owner announces "Deactivate (name of building)", or they have insufficient fuel to power it for the next hour.with > Buildings may have a power cost in fuel.

gollark: How about this?
gollark: I think I should make it so that things consume fuel per operation instead of just in general.
