Think of all the engineers just facepalming every day there.

You may be on to something significant here - a new source of energy, completely solving the problem.

All we need to do is install generators on all the engineers arms and wire them all up to the grid. The facepalming will more than be enough to power entire cities. Note, the generators will garner electric power from BOTH the facepalming AND the de-facepalming.

Just like buoys harnessing wave power...

A similar concept is possible by harnessing the founding fathers spinning in their graves. Link that to a generator and you're good to go. Save the face-palming engineers to cover peak use requirements.
