Forget Solar, Forget Hydrogen: Kite Power will Solve the Energy Crisis
Dutch researchers have discovered the power of kites! Since kites are not in a fixed location, like a wind turbine, they are able to soar to higher altitudes where higher wind speeds exist. With their initial test, the Delft University of Technology scientists produced 10 kilowatts of power with one kite. They hope with future tests using multiple kites, the researchers can produce 10 megawatts!

I saw a report on this in the New Scientist. For me, the real question is what sort of stories the anti-wind power nutters will invent for this form of wind power. Noisy? No. Kills birds? No. Eyesore? That's a stretch. Eats babies? Maybe.
