[edit] Extract energy?

As I understand it (from reading our space tether article and the Scientific American August 2004 article on space tethers), EDT's don't "extract energy from the Earth's magnetic field" as stated here; they just react against the magnetic field to produce thrust or drag. Does anyone disagree? --Heron 15:30, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
