You’d have to burn a heck of a lot of wood to produce enough steam for electrical generation!

Not for electrical generation. For heat. Tonight is going well below zero.

Electricity will eventually come from photovoltaics.

Mind you, you’ve got to cut your consumption wa-a-a-ay down. High demand will usually necessitate a generator for stuff like table saw use or the like.

I have a naval history book that has chapters describing the navy during steam conversion. Most of the navy’s time was spent setting up places around the globe to get supplies of wood and then coal. It made for some interesting arrangements.
