If the theory is correct, you could build satellites on the Moon and slowly walk them to GEO at zero fuel cost with solar power.
Any circular orbit with height between 5% and 41% of the Earth-Moon distance could be placed more cheaply by flying out to rendezvous at 41% with fuel, then walking it back in along the cable with solar power.
