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!

What if the turbines are hooked up to an electric milling machine ?
