Bolt them all to the ground pointing upand then solve global warming by turning on the jet engines only at specific times of the day to move the Earth further from the Sun.
Little physics fun fact but this wouldn’t move the Earth a nanometer because to move the earth you’d have to actually expel gas from atmosphere at escape velocity. Otherwise your just moving the atmosphere around which has no effect on the earth at all. It would be like turning on a fan inside the ISS. Just has no effect. As thrust is only generated when you expel matter.
I know your post is a joke just wanted to add that because it’s interesting.

The exhaust in that episode of Futurama does actually go out of the atmosphere! Doh!
