Eh, we’re still moving electrons around in wires like Faraday did in the 1800s!

Solar concentration is boiling some other liquid, so there’s some variance 😅

It only feels odd because that is genuinely an incredibly effective means of generation, and we found it very early on because steam is so fundamental. Nothing wrong with sticking to the best method ever discovered.

just FYI, the electrochemical battery was invented in 1800, while electromechanical generator was invented in around 1866.
