Default Introducing the Altaeros BAT: The Next Generation of Wind Power

www.youtube.com/watch?v=kldA4nWANA8

Imagine a wind turbine way up in the air, held there by helium that
rapidly leaks out. Tethered by conducting cables - wouldn't they be
heavy, to conduct all that power?
Now imagine thousands of them, winding around each other.
At the end is a list of government and other organisations that funded
this.

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
