Equivalently, put some waterballoons (simlar stuff) underneath the sea, and utilize the waterflow to push or drag a \\\"ground-bound\\\" generator. ^_^ Innovative.

Nice idea, though. The top photo was taken on top of Diamond Head in Hawaii, and I know for sure that that does not exist at Kapiolani Park. Nice idea, though.

I have a few other strange ideas to offer - including harnessing moving glaciers. Watch my June 08 Pecha Kucha presentation I gave in San Francisco if you're interested. http://web.splashcast.net/fs/?embed_url=/so/2/c/HBPU3436PC/s/NOFW5649OG/sc/1089506/fs/-ThinkSketch Thinksketch.wordpress.com Nice, Im glad these ideas are being tested with great results… I have a few other strange ideas to offer – including harnessing moving glaciers.

In low wind conditions... having units that are bouyant, due to being inflated, will be a necessity. I also think that staying out of the aircraft lanes will be essential. It will be interesting to see how this develops. Remember the windsails for large cargo ships ? Maybe there's a blend between these 2 technologies that would work ? If so, the cost of shipping, recently risen due to oil's price rise, could be lessened. I’m glad that when I went to their ‘\Laddermill’ site, the word ‘inflatables’ was used.

I never stop being amazed by all the possible alternatives there are to fossil fuels. Surely with just the slightest inkling of dedication a program like this could work? That’s really brilliant.
