The warp core was originally a space babble replacement for a boiler on a steam ship, since it was based on WW2 navy ships. On old steam ships literally almost everything ran directly on auxiliary steam. As a result of probably not revisiting this since the 60s: everything in trek runs directly on warp core plasma.

You mean WW 0? Even in WW1 ICE powered ships are commonplace.

Huh. I stand corrected.
Yup almost 3000 liberty ships with triple expansions and heavy oil fired boilers were built during the war boss.
WWNAM. I joke.
