Reach for the sky: Could flying wind farms help beat global warming?
Let's just file this under "freaking awesome." The idea is to loft flying wind farms that sit in the high-altitude jet streams (which are far stronger and constant then winds generated at surface level) and then send the power back to folks on earth. Power would be sent back to the ground through a tethering cable. Sounds crazy, but now's the time for crazy ideas. A test wind farm will be lofted sometime in the next few years.
Joystiq: Gaming while driving laws coming soon
ok, I may be old fashioned in this, but why the hell can't we have just one law that applies to all forms of reckless driving, and leave it at that? Do we really need to outlaw each and every new device that comes down the pike? If you're doing something stupid, and cause and accident ... you get busted. Simple as that.
