There’s also wind. But that just skips the steam

There is an argument to be made that the wind power is technically steam power, given the moist gaseous fluid turning a turbine, but that's silly.

Right. We all know it's generated by trees. It's why cutting trees down is so bad for the environment, it stops the wind and everything gets more hot. Leading to global warming.

I am now picturing a line of trees rocking back and forth to generate air and wind for us.
