What about an initiative to harvest green cheese from the moon to feed the homeless?

Its actually a really neat, cost effective technology for 30-50 kw turbines. Could do a lot of good in Africa and other third world countries for village power and water pumping applications but no dice.
Google wants mega watt sized versions and that just aint happening - ever.

I don’t get it. How do you generate enough power to make this feasible, if you need to spin propellers to keep the kite off the ground?

Big wind is depleting wind energy contributing to global warming! We must transition from big wind.
