Making steam is the most efficient way to convert heat to electrical energy, all you need is a fuel and reliable source of water and you can make electricity 24/7 anywhere.

Steam generation and use through a turbine also create very little wear and tear on equipment so the equipment lasts for decades making it an ideal long term solution.
