High energy prices and a desire to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, have led two German Companies to combine forces and try harness the oldest and cheapest source of energy - the wind.

    The rope has to be strong to be pulled. I disagree with Kendall.

          The kite looks a little small, and I agree with Kendall.

            These kites are a good idea, but, if the winds are to strong couldn't the kite break off of the ship?

                    It is a good idea to convert wind energy to electrical energy because it is cheap and it also reduces pollution in the ocean and the cost of fuels.

                      I like this idea for the kite to pull the ship. Even if there is little wind they have fuel to keep going. It would be a huge let-down if it malfunctioned. It also cuts down on pollution instead of a giant pipe blowing out smoke. Although it is expensive, fuel I think would build up and eventually cost more then the kite did. Ships burn about $99,000 worth of fuel each day.
