The kite thing is pretty cool.
From what I hear they aren't so much using the kite to save a ton of fuel. Its being used to go faster and save some fuel.
Above all its reducing the time and cost of international commerce.
I have been on top of wind turbines, I know all about how strong the wind gets once you get up about 150 feet off the ground. Its a gentile breeze on the ground, then you go up and its gale force, go back down to the ground, gentile breeze again.
