And a Clarke station, or Clarke orbit as you call it, s a station in

mentioned GEO several times - this IS the Clarke orbit. The satellite

provides a means to beam energy from an unmoving point in the sky to
placed on Earth.

Funny you don't know that.

Silly old me, I didn't realize the our moon or that of its L1 was "an
unmoving point in the sky".

The moon as nothing to do with a Clarke orbit. As Mook stated it is a
GEO orbit. Same spot always over the earth. Read:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geostationary

Funny as hell that we're not even remotely on the same page.
Obviously you've never known what the Earth/Moon L1 or of anything
Clarke Station was actually all about, much less of where such is.

Wong! Lunar L1 WRT Earth is a place near the moon that keeps an object
between the earth and the moon. Actually barycenter of Earth and moon
is a better description.

It's not only not a better description, it's not even correct.

It is one of the points at which gravitational and centripetal
accelerations in the earth-moon system are in balance.

A better description is here:http://www.ottisoft.com/samplact/Lagrange%20point%20L1.htm
as it shows the location of L1 WRT to Earth/Moon.

And for barycenter here:http://www.astronomycafe.net/qadir/q665.html
as it is actually inside the Earth's sphere, so I stand corrected.

Why Rand gloats let me ask a question, the second website says that
nothing at the location of the Earth/Moon barycenter happens that we
can tell. Is that a fact? Could the barycenter location be related to
plate tectonics in some regard or is it simply to far inside the earth
to have any affect?

Our moon has most everything to do with global warming our 98.5% fluid
Earth.
