You want pedantic? Those are wind turbines, champ. Windmills are used to mill grain, no matter how many people like yourself try to bastardize the term to apply to anything that rotates with air.
What's next for you people, pinwheels are now windmills?
Sorry, but not all wind mills are used for grain. Some ground stone and other material!
Or for pumping water!
Found the Dutch guy
Fair enough.
What if the turbines are hooked up to an electric milling machine ?
Then it's a windmilf
Thank you! Seeing this more and more often and it drives me insane.
