Thanks to SurfShark for making this video possible. Go to https://surfshark.com/ziroth for an extra 4 months Surfshark.

Airborne wind energy has been catching my intertest for a few years now, and I thought it was time I looked into it a bit deeper. This video covers a number of developments in the space, including kites, balloons, and drones. A number of great companies have tried and failed, so will it ever come to fruition?
