"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 "

    It has emergency quick deploy flexibility but seems economical as permanent installation too. Where emergency power can charge 50c/kwh+ instead of 10c/kwh, relocating quickly is much more power/profitablity than gasoline generators (which cost 50c/kwh in just fuel costs which also need emergency transportation).
