    Regardless of the truth, I prefer Diane Duane’s explanation in the “So, You Want to Be a Wizard” novel, In that all of the steam in the subways are generated by a breed of fire worms. These worms, if left long enough, can grow to the size of a respectable and quite terrifying dragon.

      This is the first time I’ve seen someone reference this book. I had a fun time remembering the title of this book when the only thing I could remember was “a book about wizards that had a talking car”

        The author is active on bluesky and she’s actually quite nice and everything you would expect her to be.
