    Generating electricity by boiling water used to be the cheapest option, but nowadays it's a bottleneck that itself is way more expensive than the alternatives that people actually build.

    It only got cheaper with time, though. It's the alternatives (PV, wind, batteries, gas) that improved a crazy amount.
