I hadn't thought of that. Thanks! Maybe someday we'll have steam pipelines instead of gas pipelines?

  It comes down to efficiency of transfer. I've heard of steam being used for power in machine shops and for heat in cities. I doubt the efficiencies make sense over much distance. I used water as only an example. I don't think steam is generally thought of in terms of energy storage.
