Don't anger the Rockefellers or they will shut you down like anyone else thinking of using steam. Buy gasoline at Seven Bucks per gallon but water is a bit less. .

I mean, I hate to be a skeptic about a Rockefeller conspiracy...but with some back of the napkin math, this doesnt seem to add up. The issue isnt the water, its the wood/coal or other fuel that you have to burn to heat the water to create the steam. Water has an EXTREMELY high specific heat capacity (which is why we use it as engine coolant, the other part is jsut antifreeze and keeps the lines from rusting which pure water will do), and this is not an efficient energy process.

Steam IS used in power generation, just not how most people think. The natural gas burning engines that the power plants use create a bunch of waste heat like any engine, and they trap this heat and use it to make steam to increase the thermal efficiency from the base Carnot cycle (this would be too large and heavy to fit on a car), but a pure steam engine doesn't seem like it can possibly be an efficient or realistic modern transportation solution. Unless you know something I don't, this doesn't seem likely to be a conspiracy.

Almost all large scale fueled power (electric, not force) generation uses steam. Wood, coal, oil, gas, nuclear, its all steam power. Combustion power is generally reserved for force power, such as motion. While it can be converted to electricity, it is generally not that efficient in comparison.

In the grand globalist situation, you are almost right. Steam efficiency increases with scale. You would think a steam car would not be worth it, despite the fact they exist and have existed for a long time. Further, you can get more out of steam cars by doing steam-electric cars. The same range as regular electric cars, but without the need to pay for fuel from the grid. It's all a means of control. Use their preferred resource or you don't get to participate. Look at petrol prices. Too late to think about steam cars, you already own a petrol car. Now you gotta get an electric car. Then when they decide to shut the power grid down on you, you can't do a thing.

That being said, a full steam engine vehicle, even without an electric element, needs less globalist industry. If you are less concerned with speed, you can grow your own fuel.

Its more about independence and reliability.

I gotta admit you make some really good points, that is an angle I had not considered.

I came from backwards farm folk, to industrial mega tard and Im going back to farm folk. Nothing in the modern world can exist without globalism. And globalism holds every one's lives at gun point. Do it our way, or you die.
