I don't think it's a criticism? It's more about highlighting the slight absurdity of super-high tech power generation still using the same method that has been used since the very start of electricity generation. A turbine spun by evaporated water.

Hey now, sometimes it's a turbine spun by falling water!

What about a turbine spun by the convection of evaporation from a large body of water being pulled toward a dry landmass?

Well seeing as any and all cells in our body are powered by something you could very reasonably call an electron/charge turbine I think it's fair to say turbines are really frickin great though!
