I do love that tidal power is actually just moon power. I think we should call it that more often.
Lunar power, to accompany solar power.
We should just syphon all the water out of the ocean, put it in a giant still and use a massive rocket to move it near the sun.
Now we have unlimited steam energy and way more land to build things on. Winning!
I don’t know. Isn’t that how you start third impact?
The first step can be avoided if harpoon is shot from South or North Pole (or from both).
What if we didn’t sync the earth and moon rotation, but instead when we run the cable from the earth to the moon, we attach that cable to a little train car that runs on a track all the way around the earth? The moon will pull the car around and it would have generators on it to get the electricity.
I assume the little train car will quickly become a wrecking ball, leaving a band around the earth where you can’t build anything and also if you go there you might randomly get absolutely FUCKED by a swinging train car.
I see this as an absolute win, it could have a livestream like the 11 foot 8 bridge
