With the approximation of geothermal and tidal (and fossil fuel combustion) heat supplies being zero (valid for at least the inner planets), the net flux at a given level is equal to the energy gain or loss rate for the whole climate system below that level.

He is also a leader in the study and development of renewable energy, having been instrumental in the filing of the first permits for the study of tidal and geothermal power systems in the Puget Sound area.

There is a significant loss of rotational energy due to tidal drag transferring angular momentum from Earth's axial rotation to the Earth - Moon system (Earth slows, EM distance increases).

Some tidal energy technologies are located at the mouths of ecologically - sensitive estuary systems, which could cause changes in hydrology and salinity that negatively impact animal and plant life.

The only systems that can «move», transporting energy around in cycles are ones without mechanisms for energy sharing or dissipation, like planets going around the sun in the limit that you ignore tidal heating and gravity waves and light pressure.
