Cause of death is unknown; Hardham was 38 years old and an avid kite-surfer.
Makani Power, an ARPA-E awardee, has developed a tethered airborne wind turbine that will likely displace and vastly expand the existing wind industry.
It is difficult to overstate Hardham's contribution to the Green Energy movement.
