One problem with your thought experiment is that it is by its definition not generating infinite energy.
The way I understand it is that a remote body will tug on a mithril wire which turns a generator as it unspools. Alright, fair enough for a thought experiment on it's own, but without any reciprocating action, infinite energy would require an infinitely large spool to unwind.
Another problem is that the laws of cosmic expansion affects the wire itself. There would be no tugging force between the two bodies. Connecting the two bodies imposes a constraint on them, disrupting the Hubble flow.
Not if its mithril :P
Fucking dwarves, many breaking the laws of physics for fun.
Do you want to piss off a balrog? Because that's how you piss off a balrog.
That's why he fought Gandalf: Magic breaks physics.
