Their point, which you quite clearly missed, is that people don’t need a steady, reliable, high volume flow of steel delivered to every single home and business.
And maybe you should look into steam engines a little more and check out things like how hot that water actually gets. You’re gonna discover that for all the prodigious fuel use, the temperature is far below the goal of 500C and the flow rate far below requirements. But keep up the sass.

The point you missed and everyone’s autism is preventing y’all from seeing that the fact that we have water and elecricity flowing to most houses in the USA. Things which were deemed impossible back in the day. Imagine the energy cost of conditioning the air individually at everyone’s house let alone there moving car too. It would be iMpOsSiBlE.
It’s not 100 perfect so let’s do nothing.- great idea enjoy your day.

An idea that requires 11.5 times more energy production on a daily basis than the entire country’s output is a lot more than “Not perfect.” So maybe you pipe down before you go calling everyone who disagrees with you autistic, m’kay?

You’re right technology never improves. I loved you in that movie “Idiocracy” Red_october he’s got what plants crave! Enjoy your job at Costco.

Heating water is a matter of physics, not technology. The amount of energy used to increase the temperature of water is literally how the units are defined. Do feel free to make a breakthrough on Fusion power though, I hear it’s still only 20 years away.
