In 2020 there are very few uses left for steam boilers.

Steam systems still have plenty of uses, but there is no longer any need for storage of large quantities of high pressure steam in a boiler.

Steam should be treated like electricity - generate and use it at exactly the same rate. That way, you need no storage, and if a pipe bursts there won't be an explosion.
