That is why energy storage research is so important.. So you can use extra kites to charge the batteries to keep from having to move the coal plant to 100 percent to power the 100k homes..

I can understand the concern about using tax dollars for this.. I agree that unless a full plant to provide a local community with power is constructed for a less than half of what it would take to construct a coal plant in the same location.. It needs no tax money.. Prizes will more than pay for it..

Edit: However tax going to this is much preferable than to rich oil companies claiming 100 years from local oil..
I think that project doesn't need much tax money, in stead of, I think it's very cheap.
