        I think Superman would be more august to be part of humanity’s energy transiton. Source, I’m not a comic book reader, so I can just make stuff up about the characters.

    Superman can turn the earth fast enough to make time go backwards. He could easily do that to a massive turbine. Imagine all the people he’s indirectly killed by not doing this.

        Of course, they conveniently overlook the fact that no material is strong enough to withstand Superman’s maximum energy output, so there’s a lot of wasted potential left on the table.

          Doesn’t need to. Ask superman to put a giant ball of salt into space, and then melt it with his laser vision. We’re talking moon sized. I don’t know if the infrared radiation coming off would cook earth, but assuming it doesn’t, we now have a giant ball we can harness the heat energy from from centuries. If it cools, we can have him heat it again.

    Ok math nerds how big of a flywheel does superman need, how fast does it spin and does it have any effect on gravity or the earth’s rotation?
