cost. I suggest that we import bearings, generator/motors, and carbon
fiber or Kevlar arms/containers from Earth to the Moon. Each unit

Adding mass to the system does not help with energy storage.

If you've got a given mass of carbon fiber in 'arms', then you gain
nothing in terms of energy storage capacity by adding extra mass to the
ends.

Ian you are suggesting that Brad do RealWorld math. His brain can not handle
such data.
