I'm not sure who they wrote that headline for. "Giant kites" is one thing, but what really stood out to me was that they added on the "reduces carbon emissions" as if that part would be unexpected. Like the whole point of these giant kites is to pull the ships and reducing carbon emissions is icing on the cake, rather than sails coming back because they are a carbon-neutral method of propulsion.
