  I love that deep down, coal, gas, nuclear, this thing… all done to heat water, make steam, use steam to turn turbines…. We are just in a steampunk universe

    Solar panel projects, which many have outstripped this and other projects in power limitations, do not boil water to generate electricity.

      And wind turbines, and hydroelectric plants.

      But all but solar cells are pretty much turbines all the way down

        Hydroelectric power stations still rely on steam, it’s just in another part of the cycle.

    Well there hydro power, where we just skip the boiling part and have water turn turbines.

      sometimes birds turn turbines, what when they fall down with the water.

    Yeah but, really all these are just turbinepunk because in the end we’re pushing the turbine either by using steam or natural wind.
