Another idea, that requires energy to be transmitted wireless, or through VERY long wires are airborne wind farms. This would use the technology of hot air balloon or helium which would hold the pod at a certain height, while creating drag holding the wind farm in place. The turbines would be turned by the natural jet stream very high up in the sky. It would also leave the land open for things like solar farms, etc and it could be done in any area around the world. The only problem is that the technology for wireless transmitition of energy is not up to par. Also I have no idea what the weather would do to the farms. Rusting would be an issue as it would be inside the clouds and icing can be a problem because of cold temperatures and a moist climate.
Thanks for reading
