Math Question

[Dave Williams]

-> If steam engines are so great, why were they replaced with diesels?

 Because if the operator of a steam engine were stupid enough he could
blow it up, greatly annoying the owner and any bystanders.  It's pretty
hard to do that with a Diesel.

 Steam prime movers are pretty much limited to stationary turbines now,
but they're still pretty important.  There's a 99.99% chance the
electricity you're using to read this message was generated by a steam
engine, whether the heat source was burning coal or nuclear fission.
