That being said, there are American companies that have been working on flying wind turbines for quite a while.

We have working models. The difference is the Chinese can say “make it happen”, and they do it. In the US they say, “Gimme lots of investment capital and how can I profit massively off of this?” so it goes nowhere quick.

Maybe we should call them “AI power dirigibles” and people will put some money into it.
