I know how to build a windmill out of busted car parts. If the jackals steal the windmill we've built.. how do they know what to keep an eye on? How much can they demand from it?

Ultimately, working against a community is failure. Not even the economic power of the US could break Afghanistan, or Vietnam, etc. Almost all of us want peace and stability.

Without a deep understanding of electronics and energy, the cobbled-together windmill will ultimately provide neither.
