Energy from High-Altitude Kites

Posted by michael on from the sky-dragon dept.

maddmike writes "High altitude kites could produce energy equal to some power stations at a comparable cost without polluting. The technique uses a thing dubbed a 'Laddermill' - a chain of kites attached together to create a loop in the sky more than 5 miles long."

    I recieved some energy from a high altitude kiss before. She was on her way to the lavatory and she gave me "the eye" as she passed, so I rather nonchalantly got up to go "relieve myself" as well... Oh, wait... that says KITES, dosen't it? Nevermind...
