Introduction (sources ? still up to date ?)

"Makani Technologies LLC is an Alameda, California-based company that develops airborne wind turbines with the support of Google X and the U.S. Department of Energy office of ARPA-E.

When was this sentence written ? Is Google X still supporting Makani since the separation in February 2019 ? Is ARPA-E still supporting Makani ? (maybe i.e. the 'stable genius' in the White House has stopped that) I efface the underlined part of the sentence. In case so. has sources, please addd´it to the article. --Neun-x (talk) 10:21, 15 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
