The geostationary tether would not be.

Careful. The Earth's magnetic field is not entirely
stationary. More precisely, the Earth's magnetosphere
is not stationary, so a conducting yet geostationary
cable would still have problems.

And the amount of flux movement compared to 7700+ meter per second of the
shuttle's tether is?
