Well, zach, you mention one of the things that will keep them offline when you mention politics.

I would also love to see kite plants and clean electricity generation.

However, given the nature of the media and the fact that the greatest potential of this device still lies in its developers claims, I don't think we will ever see it used for mass power-generation.

How much power can these generate per dollar spent on research and implementation? What happens if the wind stops or the kites get tangled up? How much land would have to be devoted to such a facility? What happens when there is a storm?

While I share your optimism that all these issues may be resolved, I don't have enough faith in this to invest a dime in it, and even less to support it with my tax money.
