5 Answers
hay ppl, i don't rely know how good this infomation was that a friend told me, but i heard that there was a europian company that was developing huge sails or large sport kites that would be able to attach then melves to oil tankers and they wold use to wind to pull them acros the sea. this apparently came about due to high fuel prices, and the tanker companies wanting to cut down on their expenses.
any info on this will be greatly recieved.
