  Always has been.

  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.

        What? Hydroelectric power stations use gravity and the falling or flowing water makes the turbines turn.

        Thermal plants (nuclear, coal, gas), including solar thermal plants, use steam.

        And to be fair, those none steam sources, i.e. hydro, wind and solar are all just solar basically.

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

    What about tidal?

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

    • wewbull@feddit.uk ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Are you suggesting we should boil them first?

  Supercritical CO2 turbine be like: whatup

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