    How much wind power is available way up high in the sky? Turns out a lot, according to new research from the Carnegie Institution for Science and California State University. Researchers there recently crunched 28 years worth of data and discovered not only that high altitude winds contain enough energy to meet the world's global energy demand 100 times over, but they also determined that the best places to capture that wind are over population centers in East Asia and the eastern US....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/high-altitude-wind-turbines-could-power-nyc/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
