The most promising energy generation technology

[Grey Acumen]

Actually, I think our energy will be coming from the earth ring. Right now, they're working on building a space elevator. I don't understand completely, but the potential difference generated enough energy that it burned out the little robot that was supposed to be weaving the anchor lines for the thing. If you place a series of these so they form geosynch orbit and then attach a ring around them, you can just siphon off excess potential difference.
It does sounds pretty far fetched, but not totally impossible.
