So they postulate how the moon will in 1000 years become stationary in orbit due to the tidal energy extraction as to why tidal energy is not renewable. Sorry but I'd need a few more than one institution to be backing this. Otherwise, it seems a bit too reaching to be anything other than a great plot for some cheesy disaster movie that they have phases of doing.
