You have to burn fuel (be it wood, coal, fuel oil, etc) to heat the water to make the steam. Burning the fuel creates pollution.
To generate steam to drive turbines to generate electricity, Steam used for air conditioning systems, heating ,hot water ,process applications, driving steam engines , boilers to run ships using super heated steam, auto clave's, portable heat /hot water for buildings. smaller boilers to generate power to run cars

Cars have improved in many ways. The advent of seat belts, safety glass, anti-lock brakes, air bags, power steering and power brakes have all improved cars.
Many alternative fuels, and there can also be air-powered cars, hydrogen powered cars, electric cars, and many more. The best part about using air, hydrogen, and electricity to power cars is that it produces 0 carbon emissions.
Air compressed cars are cars powered by compressed air. A compresser is used to generate high pressure air, and that air is then in turn used to propell the car. An electric engine and or a gas engine is still needed to run the compresser but unlike hybrids and other combination vehicles the air compressed cars use either of these engins to power the compressor only.
In older cars you will use more fuel. In new cars you will loose power.
Yes, steam is a common component in industrial processes as it is used for various applications such as heating, power generation, and sterilization.
Steam is often used for power generation. Apply heat to water, steam (pressure) then used to turn a turnbine and generate electricity. Imagine if you boiled water in an encloded pot (air-tight lid). The pressure will build and you can use this pressure to generate power.
B/c a train isn't big enought to retrieve and reuse all of it, so some will be dumped into the air. On some locomotives, the still hot steam will be shot out through the smokestack, improving the air flow through the firebox. With more fire, you get more steam, and more power from the locomotive.
Yes. Cars breathe. They draw air into the combustion chambers to operate. If you cut off the air supply, the engine will stop. Improvements to the engine's breathing will increase power and economy.
