		<description>Screw global warming, we simply need to get off of Middle Eastern oil ... any oil and all oil not from the USA.  If we could do that - we would be golden!



What&#039;s T Boon Picken&#039;s say?</description>

		<description>It sounds cool, and all your comments are turned toward &quot;as it is&quot; politics.



Just would like to remind you of Nikola Tesla, who did experiments, and who wanted to give energy out for whole world for free.



There is a solution, without pollution, without loss of energy, free for the planet, but it does not work for USA government.



Check that one .... Nikola Tesla...</description>

		<description>Brian: Hyperbole is the hallmark of the ignorant mind. Ever heard of the Keeling curve? It is in fact real. There is plenty of proof that global warming is caused by humans, there is a scientific consensus on it, but I know you&#039;re disregarding that when you pick and choose what science you &quot;believe.&quot;

Petroleum based plastics have nothing to do with global warming, if all the oil in the world was used to create lego and ikea furniture, the world wouldn&#039;t be any worse for wear; the problem comes when you start burning it.

Everything causes environmental damage, living in the woods eating sticks causes environmental damage, that&#039;s a fact of existence, but there&#039;s a big difference between the environmental damage caused by blowing up a mountain and extracting coal, transporting it to a powerplant complex, and then burning it and releasing the gas into the atmosphere and building a wind turbine. If you don&#039;t see the logic in that, I&#039;ll let you go back to urinating in your drinking water.</description>

		<description>Millions of murders? Millions of families destroyed?



Pretty much discredits every other number in your comment. Get off your liberal soap box and be glad that there are people willing to fight for this country.



Anyways, now that I&#039;ve gotten that out of my system, this seems like a cool idea. Unfortunately, I don&#039;t see it going anywhere on a large scale basis. If you think about it, the kites would have to be quite large and the rope or whatever they&#039;re attached to quite long. This means that you would need a lot of empty space between kites to prevent tangling, thereby making a large scale power generation project based on kites largely infeasible.</description>

		<description>&quot;The kites are attached to a generator by a string. Power is created when the string is pulled and the generator turns as winds lift it into the sky.&quot;



And when the kite gets to the end of the string, ... what do you do, cut it loose?  This is the lamest way I&#039;ve heard of for using kites to generate electricity.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s a good point, Neal. Since that appears to be the number given by Ockels and team, perhaps they are estimating based on energy usage in the Netherlands.</description>
