Ah, the ole-timey farm windmill, useful for pumping up water for animals. No reason we can't revive the windmill for modern use, say proponents.Detractors from modern three-blade wind turbines say they are ugly and clutter the landscape. Dusty D doesn't happen to agree--I think they look elegant, sculptural, and beautiful--but I can see their point.
So here's what the windmill proponents should do. Design windmills as beautiful as this one at the John Igo Branch Library in San Antonio. It produces energy for the library and is a work of art at the same time. Taking the ole-timey windmill into the modern age, with style....everything old is new again.--from the September 2009 MetalMag magazine (Dusty D reads a lot of weird stuff).
