Oct 7, 2025 - Are We Building Wind Energy Wrong?


How Kites Could Transform Global Energy Forever. This kite is generating energy from the wind. You`re probably thinking: “Neat, but don’t we already have an effective and reliable way to capture wind energy?” And yeah, wind turbines have been been big ol` work horses for decades. But wind turbines are both physically and financially massive. Each one costs a minimum of hundreds thousand of dollars, and that`s before we take into account shipping, installation, and maintenance. Goofy as it might sound, airborne wind energy systems (AWES) like this kite could be a cheaper, more nimble alternative to the steel titans we`re used to. But are AWES really ready for takeoff, or are they grounded for good?
