We can. That's what tidal power generation is.
The moon is gaining orbital energy by sapping the rotational energy of the Earth. Some of this energy is drained back into the tides.

Ok hear me out. We send a large weight on a tether 2/3rds out to the moon. The weight goes towards the moon, pulls the tether, and spins a wheel. Energy!

It was based on a smaller model that worked. JP Morgan halted their funding of it when they found out Tesla wanted to use it to spread free, wireless electricity.

that's what tesla was doing...as the earth rotates thru the magnetic field it makes electricity. all you have to do is collect it.

you set up a really, really big hamster wheel on the earth's surface, pin it to the surface and use the energy from that rotation to power stuff
