This is really unecessary and pedantic. Every person with any application in
mind for real-world generators (as opposed to school physics lessons on the
theory of generation) would understand and appreciate what is meant by the
proposed tags.
Nobody needs the tag to be
"generator:method=fission-creating-steam-to-power-a-turbine-that-induces-an-electric-current",
or
"generator:method=gasifiying-the-waste-municipal-wood-which-is-then-burnt-at-a-high-temperature-to-avoid-tar-buildup-to-produce-steam-driving-an-electromagnetic-induction-method-turbine".

That's extremely simple to answer. If Bahnpirat wanted to maintain that
image only showing _electricity_ generators he/she would simply make use of
the "generator:output" tags to filter out any that produce heat/steam/other
outputs.
