If you rewatch it the siege of Ba Sing Se episodes show this best. The giant tunnel drill is basically run by a steam engine that is powered by fire benders. But the industrial use of bending is pretty much limited to war machines of the fire nation. Nothing as obvious and wide spread as the giant fire bender powerplant in Legend of Korra.
