Now imagine it fitted with electricity generating turbines and being positioned high above the ground in order to grab the power of steady high-speed winds. The tether anchors the wing, and its wires conduct the generated power back to earth. It’s not a fantasy. Several innovative western companies have working prototypes. Could Thailand develop something similar, or will it wind up buying the units and technology from others in the future? Better than nuclear, don’t you think?
