Scientists at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have found a new way to generate electricity for the masses without adding a single step of carbon footprint to the earth simply by tethering a 10 square meter kite to a generator. This move is able to generate up to 10 kilowatts of power - more than enough juice to power 10 homes. Taking this idea and enlarging it, the same team of scientists hope to use a 50 kilowatt kite and a 100 megawatt array dubbed the Laddermill, hoping that this will eventually power 100,000 homes - all without the risk of a nuclear power plant blowing up. I wonder what happens when these kites are covered in lightweight solar panels?
