It never ceases to amaze me how far-flung some people think you need to go.

We have this humongous pumping system in place and operational, involving a gravitic mass of significant value in a geostationary orbit such that it displaces trillions of cubic feet of saltwater by a distance of from 1 to 10 feet over 700 times per year. If you can get some valid numbers for the actual number of cubic feet displaced you can do the math yourself.

How come we are so slow at using this built-in pumping system? We've been using Niagara Falls for almost 100 years now for power; it's worked out quite well overall.

Two others sources worth considering are clean fuel distilled from coal and (of course) hydrogen. Both require major infrastructures (the coal solution less os) but both are feasible.
