Come on Carryfast, you should have been able to find an old clip of a steam powered narrow boat (hint, Google ‘president’) bynow, to show how steam power is the way forward…Come on carryfast. You can do beter than this.
If we’re going steam powered, why not turbines rather than pistons?
Why coal fuelled.
Steam turbine powered by a small nuclear plant.
No tax on uranium, so clearly the cheap alternative.
Even if you turn off the steam generator the bargees will get a nice warm feeling, an indoor suntan, plus no need for lighting because of the soft, all around glow.
