How effective are windmills?
Well.. In the "old days" windmills would provide the energy to power machines for producing clothing, food & farming requirements. Back then, the windmills didn't rely on "the grid" which is the way we get electricity now. It wasn't connected then and the power simply came from the wind blowing the large "fan" in a direction, which then moved a gear connected to the fan connected to a machine. Now the windmills are much more sophisticated and rely on many bases of electricity in some form. This is so we can all have access to it. So back then they were really effective in the principle of being a "windmill" . How are they now? We don't know the answer to that yet because we are not relying on them for anything immediately significant today.
