"High-altitude winds between 1,640 and 3,281 feet (500 and 10,000 meters) above the ground are stronger and steadier than surface winds. These winds are abundant, widely available, and carbon-free.
"The physics of wind power makes this resource extremely valuable. “When wind speed doubles, the energy it carries increases eightfold, triple the speed, and you have 27 times the energy,” explained Gong Zeqi "
Late reply, but you… may not be wrong.
However, I think this is a ‘nuclear power’ like situation.
Even if the failure modes are generally technically safe, they’re so spectacular that it’s going to freak people (and authorities) out to the point of being problematic. Hence, dirigible development basically died from that one incident, heh.
