One of the test kites being used to create energy according to a
method designed by Nature Technology Systems in Germany makes
its first flight. The company -- which partnered with Fraunhofer
Institute for Manufacturing Engineering -- said the system it
created uses the same principles as wind turbines but is more
efficient and environmentally friendly. (Source: Fraunhofer

Unlike solar farms or windmills which are inherently difficult
to look at or follow with the eyes, advertisers could use these
kites to place their logos on truly unobstructed billboards, and
not cut down any trees in the process. So capitalism could serve
environmentalism for a change. And vice versus. Of course, the
