Just got the low-down from the Good News Network that the world's first kite-powered cargo ship has set a new precedent by completing it's maiden transatlantic voyage!

From Website

The world's first cargo ship partially powered by a giant kite has set sail from Germany to Venezuela last week. "Beluga SkySails" is fitted with a giant computer-guided kite, which helps the engines to power the ship - thereby reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

Let's hope that this is the start of a trend... Terra knows we need it.
