French company Airseas has developed the Seawing, a kite to help propel cargo ships, which it says could cut their carbon emissions by an average of 20%.

I checked for posts about this and didn’t see any. Hopefully the cross post works properly.

      I’m sorry, my bullshitometer just bend the high-stop pin. Im going to need him to define crazy power - ideally not using the words shit-ton or insane in the definition.

        I think he means crazy as in wacky. I had a training kite-surfing kite (I wanted to learn to kite snowboard) and if I held it still (no grip adjustments) in high winds it would start to fly in a fast figure eight like a hyperactive Chihuahua at dinner time. I think that’s what he means by crazy, or at least that’s how I understood it because I have the experience for context.
