The energy sector is in a constant state of evolution, with researchers and innovators around the world seeking new ways to power our planet sustainably. One particularly thought-provoking concept making waves in recent headlines is the idea of generating electricity from the Earth’s rotation — not through wind or tidal forces, but from its movement through the planet’s own magnetic field. Could this be a breakthrough in clean energy? Or is it just an intriguing theory that lacks real-world viability?
