    if we were to extract the rotational energy just to supply 1% of the world’s energy consumption, the rotation of the Earth would lock to the Moon in about 1000 years. As a consequence, one side of the Earth would be exposed to the Sun for a much longer period than it is today.

    A computer science degree doesn’t qualify a person to evaluate the complex physics of planetary motion. Is there a credible source that anyone has found on this topic, specifically on the rate of change in day length?
