High-Flying Kites Could Produce Enough Energy for a City
However, I have to pose them a question, beyond the safety issue (what goes up...):
What's not to like?
However, I have to wonder about the reliability factors.
Like Charlie Brown, my efforts at getting a kite up, staying up and back down (if it got too gusty) have never been that successful. And certain involved a lot of kidpower on the ground.
So if (as it surely might) the wind drops, what is the proposed procedure to get the generating mechanism back up again?

Blogger has a funny habit every so often of 'adding' stuff when one posts a link, and if I don't notice it gets corrupted.
The other is sticking a link in the headline.
