minus-squareDahGangalang@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 days agoYeah. One uses the passage of a gas over rotating blades. The other uses water as it flows. Neither use the passage of gaseous water, so theyre totally different! /s

minus-squareayyy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 days agoDoes hydropower count as cold steam? Well I guess all wind power is also steam at a very low concentration heated by a fusion reaction.
