Oh, I understood - your comment g actually triggered a curiosity in me as to why we don’t combine the two methods (boiling and falling) to “double-dip” on electricity production.
I’m sure there are plenty of practical reasons why not, but I genuinely don’t know.

Well if you remember from school, energy is defined as the capacity to do work. And if the rising steam does the work of turning a turbine, it’ll have a lot less kinetic energy left afterwards and won’t rise nearly as far.
