I would assume any steam turbine plant needs water for the steam, and that steam is eventually lost through evaporation.

- DaniFong 4y agothe water in steam plants is a closed loop, and the heat is gathered from condensers. the water is cooled via evaporation through a cooling tower
- adgjlsfhk1 4y agoThere's this really cool invention called the bucket. It lets you recapture steam as it re-condenses.
- ars 4y agoNo, they are typically closed cycle, where the steam is reused. You just need to cool the steam with ambient air - water is better (more cooling) but hardly required.
