http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7201887.stmThe world's first commercial cargo ship partially powered by a giant kite is setting sail from Germany to Venezuela.
The designers of the MS Beluga Skysails say the computer-controlled kite, measuring 160sq m (1,722sq ft), could cut fuel consumption by as much as 20%. 20% fuel savings. Nice.
