Same here. Yay for Art Deco.
As far as the fuel situation, I'm not sure what you're thinking Equestria has available to use, CD. Unicorn magic doesn't really seem to do much with 'enchantments', per se; all its effects tend to be either instant, instant at the point the spell finally goes through (for those that take some dramatic groans of effort to get done), or last as long as the unicorns in question focus on it. Makes it sort of hard to do the 'enchant the generator to spin continuously' trick.
Now, pegasi... that's a different story. There are a number of ways to break (or at least bend) things with weather manipulation, the long-term one being solar power (with predictable levels of sun and scheduled clouds). Lightning collectors, maybe? Some sort of system that uses rain on command? There's potential there, even if I'm not seeing it this early in the morning.
As for earth ponies... treadmills. That's all I've got.
Also, props for a lack of friendship. You don't see 'trying not to get to care about people' done very often in fanfic. Pity, that- it can be very effective when done well. I'm seriously looking forward to those friendship letters... and hoping- PRAYING- you don't do any shipping/harem-enlarging while there.
