Do you think that project loon has anything to do with the recently acquired Makani Power? http://cleantechnica.com/2013/05/24/google-buys-makani-wind-....

It would be interesting if they were to merge these two projects.

It seems pretty unlikely, if only because of the very different altitudes the projects operate at (the kites can't be high because of tether weight, and the balloons can't be low because of weather and aircraft).
