"How about the power to launch the shuttle to the space station?"

Just to be really picky; even fossil fuels couldn't handle the shuttle launch. Ammonium Perchlorate Composite Propellant for the booster rockets. Hydrogen (and oxygen) in the shuttle's external fuel tank. Monomethyl hydrazine fuel (CH3NHNH2) and nitrogen tetroxide oxidizer (N2O4)in the shuttle, for manouvering in space.

He ruined Chrysler after Lee fixed it then bolted to GM. A pure loser.
