but isn't the magnetosphere constantly moving.. and the cable stationary ?


I dont think it s moving this fast as compared to much fasters orbit
(LEO)



Why not use the power naturally developed in the cable?

the cable , ribbon, would have to be very thin to exist so it would not
be able to carry much power without dammage (?)

the (I think) only (now) conceivable way to build it is to produce a
composite (epoxy ..)with short carbon nanotubes .. it's not expected to
be conductive
