It doesn't have to be steam. You can also use the generated energy to pump water up to a location of higher gravitational potential, then use that to spin turbines as it comes back down.

How are you generating that energy though? Oh yeah, steam. :panic:

Why don't they just let the steam rise on its own? Are they stupid?
