The next major innovation in wind power might not involve big, white turbines dotting the countryside. KQED QUEST reports on research being done on "tethered airfoils" that could capture wind energy more efficiently that earthbound turbines. This report is part of the NewsHour's Connect series of quality public media reporting. (Summary by KQED, Transcript)

This report was shown on Monday's NewsHour for stations that didn't have Pledge Week breaks, including KQED.
