When steam is drawn off, more fuel needs to be burnt, because the reduction of pressure in the boiler allows boiling to occur which will cause the water in the boiler to cool down unless more fuel is burnt. > > With coal fired power plants, there is little, if any reduction >in green house gases or costs. > That is not a true statement, because when wind power allows coal fired power plants to be put on standby, less fuel needs to be burnt to keep the boilers hot.
