Astrobiology Magazine
Don't ask why... (I'm not sure either) but as I was walking the other day, I had this thought about the moon and the effect it has on the earth. Since the moon's gravity distorts the surface of the earth as it passes over it, pulling it up and then letting it down as the moon moves on, why couldn't we use that power to create electrical energy? Tiny, nano sized rotating engines that would be linked together to create a grid of energy producers. You could embed them in the the surface of the highways and parking lots. Problem solved!
(It's possible. There are tidal engines that produce electricity from the power of the tides and tides are caused by the effect of the moon's gravity)
