Ummm . . . windmills use the wind to keep them turning. No biofuels are involved.
I am sure some windmills were used to grind flour, however the majority were used a pumps to keep the land drained.
Windmills help people in many ways. In olden times they used it to grind wheat for bread. Now we mostly use it to harness the power of wind energy and converting that into electricity. In netherlands, they use windmills to pump water away thereby leaving land for urbanization. Even today, most of the netherlands is below sea level.
Windmills use wind energy.

Yes windmills take up to much land. it takes about 120 square meters per windmill, knowing that now, I believe we should stop windmills and start using solar panels. They are now making cheaper solar panels, so that more people can use solar panels and stop windmills.
No. Windmills use the wind for various puposes such as grinding grain, pumping water, and generating electricity.
Windmills transform the kinetic energy of the moving air mass into other energy forms.
