KiteRicity

The higher up you go the better and stabler the winds, but it costs money to get up...

Introducing the KiteRicity:
Make a "rotor" kite that rotates using a bearing so the thread doesn't twirl.
Make a contra turning rotor kite - another rotor kite that turns in the opposite direction.

Add a lightweight generator (is there a BLDC generator with no perma-magnets?)
and your all set to produce megawatts.
