[Doug Pratt]

Here is an interesting new concept in wind power.

This wacky idea has been kicking around for awhile. Sure, the demo unit
makes power, but how the heck is he going to support the *3 miles* of
transmission line needed to get the power to ground level?  Even if he's
pushing 600,000 volts, the cable weight is huge!  Somebody prove me
wrong?

Cheers,
Doug Pratt
