    Steam chamber – That’s about the size of a stall for a horse, but it probably burned more hay. Using animals for power still generates green house gasses, but does create jobs. Someone has to pickup those horse apples off the street, they attract a lot of flies. Yes, I remember when Mr. Landcaster would deliver our milk in a horse drawn wagon. The horse liked me because we had an apple tree in the back yard and I would give him Apples. He ate them seeds and all. In the days of the Ice Box, the ice man would deliver it (by horse drawn wagon) in 25 pound blocks. Our first Refridgerator was powered by natural gas. Air conditioning was by electric fan. Shoveling coal into the furnace, taking out the ashes – That was Detroit in the "Good Old Days" . . . . . 😡
