Environmentally Friendly Rocket Engine Test Facility

Rocket engine design requires many tests. During these tests, the rocket engine releases fast and hot exhaust gases. I propose the recovery of some of the energy released using a steam turbine. Steam turbines can withstand hot and fast gasses and are quite efficient in electric generation. The end of the turbine can be connected to a steam condenser where part of the exhaust gases (water vapor) can be recovered. Some of the electric generated can be used to clean out the exhaust pollutants, the rest would be consumed within the facility.
