Hi Brent,
Sorry for the previous blank email.  I was too fast with my trigger  finger 
and hit the "Send" key.
 
The reason Steam stuff went away is simple.  It is simply too  inefficient.  
External combustion engines (including steam) waste WAY too  much energy.  
Think roughly half the fuel economy.  They definitely  would run on biofuels 
though.
