    The problem with this is that you assume that wood is the best fuel source for steam. Very quickly you would realize that coal is far more energy dense than just about anything except nuclear fission. Planting trees is still a good idea though, but wood as fuel is utter shite on any large application.

      When starting out you don’t need the most efficient. You need what’s available. And I’d rather not reinvent coal mining and whaling.
