    Power of national grid = 30GW according to GridWatch.

    30,000,000,000W * 1/1,000,000,000,000s = 30mJ.

    Which doesn’t sound like a lot. It’s about the same energy as lifting 6 sheets of A4 paper one metre in the air.

      That makes it sound a lot less impressive. I may have to wait a little longer before I can get my supervillain lab properly kitted out with a laser that can punch the Moon in its smug face.
