Tapping into the jet stream—the fast-flowing air currents in the atmosphere—to harness high speed wind power is one of the most compelling ideas in the renewable energy world. How compelling, you ask? Some researchers figure that by successfully tapping into just 1% of the jet stream, we could power all of civilization. At about 6 miles up, the jet stream creates some 200 trillion watts—world energy demand is estimated to be between 2 and 2.5 trillion—the problem, of course, is bringing that stuff down to earth.
