Wind power from up where it's windy

Nice idea that might lead to harnessing wind power at higher altitudes  
where it can be more predictable.

Have been contemplating the usefulness of large-scale turbines of the  
Honeywell Earthtronics type posted here recently. I can see them  
mounted on top of large buildings in densely populated port cities,  
where the offshore breezes are fairly consistent.
