I can totally see this being a thing. While I'm not an engineer, the benefits are obvious. Mobility, it looks pretty cheap, and I'm also thinking that due to the fact it's a baloon and it's held down by cables, it could probably receive variable power generation, where presumably if you lower the balloon, less power gets generated and if you raise it more power gets generated, due to there being more wind at higher altitudes.
