A DMD is a really good thought, but I don't know if the surface area would work out at scale. I think the power handling limit of typical devices is something like 100W/cm^2. The UV from the sun would also degrade these devices fa

Combined cycle turbines are not primarily powered by steam. It is a secondary consequence of their operation. This contrasts with nuclear and coal plants where steam is the prime mover.
