I believe the proposer of this was suggesting creating electricity like a space tether.
I think space tether be a solution and fully agree that concept. I think he did not think his idea through carefully, if there were currents created by mere lay out of electric grids (effectively electric grids are miniature version of this that don't go pole-to-pole) we should have seen electricity generated by the grids on its own by loops. I did not comment on the idea on its merits, but if magnetic field blows out, then even the space tethers stop generating electricity even if people manage to uncoil them in space. (So far, all space tethers have ended up as a pool of spaghetti rather than staying in line). As per the puncture of holes into Faraday's Cage at the Earth's Core, a good analogy is an aircraft with the windows. The hole of non-conductive materials from Greenland is analogous to aeroplane windows being added to the electrically conductive fuselage acting as the Faraday's Cage when lightening strikes the plane: sustained melting = sustained drift of electrical currents and their associated magnetic fields that can penetrate to surface.

It has to cut perpendicularly across magnetic field lines. How does one generate current?

If that was solved by some cable, then it would not be a problem, but I imagine that the cable is self-destructive. In any case, I would like to draw attention to fact that magnetic field is in rapid decline and migration. The cable would be difficult to realign and it does not generate electricity when the processes at the core switch it off. When winding down, it becomes erratic and weak, almost multipolar magnetic field, so as investment I would not put my bets on this. Please note, the Magnetic Field Polarity Reversion Even last time occurred 870,000 years ago and since year 2000 we have fallen into this lucky geophysical lottery to withness the onset of one which could happen almost anytime now. Group B Nations will meet President Clinton on 22. September 2009 and we will give our version of the ongoing events: We iterate once again that the recent migrations of the Magnetic North Pole are probably nothing to do with any Magnetic Field Polarity Reversion event, but the constant melting and shifting of snow and ice pack in Greenland is changing the isostatic load on the ground, the bottom of the litosphere drumming electrically non-conductive minerals into the electrically-active belts near the core, the Faraday's Cage of the Earth's Core (the maxiumum outward electrically-conductive surface where the build up of the core's static electricity rises due to internal repulsion of electrons with same charge in the electric field generated by the core). The more ice melts and soft ice shifts around, the more the settled equilibrium states of the past become unsettled, redirecting electricity to go around Greenland where there are still good electric condutivity remaining on F-Cage. So, in a situation that the melting ice sheet shutting down the electricity trespass beneath Greenland's ice sheet and eventual flip-flopping and shut down of magnetic field, a coil is a bad idea. A very bad idea. Our nations will bring the reasonings to Clinton in hope he can raise interest that our data-validation request is attended and resolved in case sea jumps and we see the damage to the Faraday's Cage etc as precursors for ice sheet destabilising.
