I think you just proved his point. A hydroelectric dam uses pressure from the reservoir to run the turbine. From what I know, most lakes are not hundreds of degrees, showing why pressure is the important factor.

EDIT: I didn't see the 'title' of your post, that's exactly what you did!

OP: I don't think people would remember to add water everyday. We might remember to do it, but the average Joe would probably not. Think about how many people forget to change their oil or coolant or trans fluid. Now they have to do it every day?!?! Unfortunately, I just don't have faith...
