Energy Savings - Kite Assisted Ship Propulsion

I came across this article...
"Fair winds... smooth sailing."
I think this phrase were used in the days when sails are the means of propulsion… and now some genius have came up with the below idea. What would be next? Sail mast install on all ships?

Cargo Vessels using giant kites to help in the propulsion and saves 20% of fuel consumption. The savings will be given to the crew.

BTW... lets all try to save Earth and in the course of it save ourselves some money~
