Taxpayers throughout the United States should be concerned with the misuse of their dollars spent on these oversized balloons. this company is willing to sacrifice a scarce natural resource in Helium to capture an abundant natural source of energy. this does not make economic sense when it comes down to the fact of misappropriated funds for research that can be used elsewhere.

The extra, but not disastrous, wind that’s ahead, behind, and on the edges of the worst wind would make up for the lost generation. That’s what is seen with wind farms spread over a large area. Some turbines have to be parked to keep from over-spinning, but the ones not getting the worst of the storm are spinning close to full nameplate.
