Tidal Power on Callisto
#9
Tidal forces on Callisto would be insignificant compared to the other Galilean moons because it doesnt participate in the 1:2:4 Laplace resonance that Io, Europa and Ganymede are locked in. While we believe that Callisto does indeed have a liquid water layer, it is also the largest body known to not be fully differentiated because it was never tidally heated enough to fully melt its interior. This idea would probably be a good plan on the other moons but I dont believe would be particularly viable on Callisto.
