Hollowed be thy pipes

It doesn’t rotate to generate electricity? Must be blasphemy.
Blessed be the holy turbine, we seek guidance in its rotation. Long may it spin and bring forth a bounteous current.
Also fuel cells.
Hey we burn things just for heat too.
Yeah, heat to boil water
We heat homes, smelt ore, many industrial things.
And water
Not only water as per the original comment. You need heat to smelt ore and do any number of industrial things to progress society.
But then you quench that ore in water! It’s just heating water with extra steps!
We smelting water tonight?

That’s all “burn shit”.
