Kite Generating Electricity

We are flying kites since many years but you must be surprised that modern giant kites can generate electricity.In Netherland scientists of Delft University of Technology has developed a 10-sq meter kite that is tethered to generator which fly's in air and can produce 10 kilowatts of electricity which is sufficient for 10 family homes.
Now they are planning for even bigger project of 50kW which is called Laddemill in which they will fly multiple kits that they claim can produce 100 megawatts which is sufficient for 1,00,000 homes.

Giant web-search company of California which has invested about $10m last year US kite company called Makani who gout first awards in Renewable Energy Cheaper than Coal program.

I think every body should encourage this project because it is cheape and eco friendly source of energy than coal and gas moreover free source is free "Wind". If big companies encourage this project our world could be cleaner place. [guardian]
