I fully and completely comprehend that she's talking about steaming versus using the dishwasher, and not about baking. But that's not my point, not in the least.
My point is that cooking requires expending energy no matter how you do it, and it's pretty nagging and useless to criticize people for using one method over another. the method she used probably had a total energy usage that's commensurate with another VERY popular way of cooking fish - baking. If she went into a thread where someone was talking about baking fish and lit them up for their excessive use of energy the way she did in this thread, it would be absolutely ridiculous and we'd all realize that. I'm pretty sure that the Food Network also endorses the idea of baking fish, although it uses more energy than other alternatives, but we don't criticize them for that. People have the right to use whatever cooking methods they please, and it's unnecessary to berate someone over it.
I also don't think I ever called her a psycho, but if I did, I shouldn't have and I was wrong. But my point is still valid. Her energy consumption was not egregious for the act of COOKING something.
