Makani Power is an exciting start-up in California, with a team of sail makers and kite designers fronted by a MacArthur genious grant recipient and a World Cup windsurfer. They build what they refer to as super-kites, aimed at harnessing energy from high altitude winds, and have already successfully been able to generate enough power to supply five average households with one not-too-big kite. With millions of dollars from Godzilla Google, they are determined to tap in to a constant source of energy, and generate the cheapest and cleanest energy yet. Wait, what, an actual solution?
