sustainablogger discovered 9 months ago- A kite the size of a football field will provide most of the power for a German heavy freight ship set to launch in December.

- This is cool. Enormous kite-sails increasing fuel-efficiency of commercial shipping. Very clever.

- IMHO, neat idea.

- So in reality, we're using a giant sail to power a ship, only we're floating that sail way up in the air instead of tying to a mast.

- Of course they could do a lot more by just leaving the windmills in Denmark and building a nuke in Texas. I can't help but notice the weasel words in the press release -- I suspect that if this were actually a viable technology we would have gone from wind to wind hybrids back in the day instead of converting over to gas-powered ships. It's hard to tell what is actually viable in such a hype ridden industry.
