you will have to put energy into the system after it is built forever equivalent with all the tidal friction of the world. |

You could ban tidal power plants for starters. |

Well actually the idea is to reduce the friction by creating a path of least resistance. So this delays the days demise --- only removing the pesky moon solves the problem... |

Strange how many of the 'renewable' energy sources (Tidal, Nuclear etc) are in fact non-renewable in the long term, whilst the non-renewable ones can all be replaced with a mere few hundred thousand years of swamp. |

What if we
a: freeze the water or
b: remove it from the oceans and place it in small brightly coloured plastic buckets so it cannot move around.
Would this be an improvement on reducing friction as there would then be no tides at all. No doubt the small plastic spades supplied with the buckets could be put to some other, practical, world saving solution. |

[MiMM] Yes if you must... |

Regarding renewable resources though..., if we examine thermodynamics in the same light as set theory we should conclude that thermodynamics is consistant only within a system that is not similarly governed... |
