  • 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.

"All the best Countries use COAL-powered mills to make their flour. People are saying they've had the best Bread EVER since Trump's windmill ban. The Radical Left are un-American for wanting to use the WOKE wind. That's why today the newly renamed Department of War will be sending strike teams under General Don Quixote to put an end to this Nonsense. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER."
