Absolute bullshit.

Its biomass combustion and steam turbine. Nothing is renewable.

It has nothing to do with the steam other than the power station will pollute with huge amounts of CO2 and combustion particulates which will damage the environment.

Trees are renewable so is coal and oil but it takes million of years to form coal from trees and oil from animals and vegetation.
Steam as motive power is universal and can be produced by burning just about anything or in solar heating turbines or by splitting atom.

And splitting atom can put bubbles in beer
