I think that comment is just referring to power plants using steam turbines to generate electricity. But there is also a stream distribution system in NYC. My apartment complex has heat and hot water from Con Edison (power company) steam.

I was referring to a steam distribution system, burning nat gas to produce steam which then powers HVAC / heating in the city.
