28-ton, 1.2-megawatt tidal kite is now exporting power to the grid

Minesto's fully operational Dragon 12 looks like some sort of futuristic military drone – but it behaves remarkably like a kite underwater. It uses lift generated by tidal flows to fly patterns faster than the currents, harvesting renewable energy.

    Really cool idea. I wonder how scalable it would be for less efficient locations. No small channels? Just throw 4x as many out there and call it good.
