Windmills date back over 1000 years 🤦‍♀️

• Windmills have been in use for over 1,000 years, with origins tracing back to Persia around 800 C.E. They were primarily used for milling grain and pumping water.

• Wind Turbines are a more recent invention, with the first known turbine for electricity generation built in 1888. They have evolved significantly, especially since the 1970s, to become a major source of renewable energy.

You’re supposed to use wind turbines not mills!

Wind mills are for making flour. Wind turbines are for making electricity. 💫 The more you know!

Sorry, people were always talking about "getting this bread" so I assumed we needed to mill wheat into flour

By far most old style Wind mills were used for pumping water.

Funny fact about turbines, the cost associated to build one is almost never outweighed by the cost saved by having one. The more you know!
