Gunner, serious answer.

If the sh3t *really hits* the fan, the best use for "steam" will be
boiling water. To drink, and to cook. Wood fire

Fun.recreation.survival dot com will not exist. Grow yer own BBQ
beans and weenies.

half Sh4t hits the fan, my time would be best spent not stoking some
gizmo steamer motor.

I hear the sun plants energy, free for the taking

just a rumor
