This article describes a new wind power concept. Tethered wind turbines are flown at a height of one to three kilometers above the Massachusetts coast, where they would tap the strong coastal winds and deliver 17 MW of power each to substations on the shore. The cost is about 6.3 cents per kw, but the load factor of 57% justifies the higher cost.
