Is a windmills a nonrenewable resources or a renewable sources?

It would be naïve to say that there is a completely renewable source of energy. The sun, for example, which is the source of all energy on Earth, will form a Red Giant in a few billion years time, and will produce far less energy than it had in the past. Additionally, although wind (which relies on the sun) is renewable per say, machines to make use of wind energy, such as wind turbines, require maintenance et cetera and are in that sense, not *completely* renewable. However, for our purposes, and especially in contrast to Fossil fuels, the Sun, the wind, the tides et cetera are renewable sources of energy. Windmills are machines which convert the wind's energy into another form of energy. They, themselves, are not "renewable *sources," rather they can make use of a 'renewable' source, 'the wind,' to transform kinetic into potential energy.

How would Windmills be used for the future?

I hope their widespread use is not too far in the future. They must be used in conjunction with other clean energy sources, such as solar, tidal, and wave energy. They can be used on a local scale, such as on the tops of multi story buildings to provide lighting, air conditioning and power for computers. They can also be used in large arrays floating out to sea, where the wind is most constant, to produce electricity for industrial and domestic use. Many consider them ugly, but the consequences of more CO2 are a lot uglier.
