  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!

    I told you I hate to be pedantic.

      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.

  Wait until you hear what creates wind!

    There’s a man in the clouds who blows really hard.

    But the plants he eats grow in sunlight.

  But, but… what if we put solar panels on the windmills? ;-)

  Actually I double checked and solar-assisted windmills are a thing though not likely what’s shown in the picture. Actually now I’m wondering if you could also use solar to concentrate a local heat differential and power a wind turbine (though liquid is probably more efficient)

    That is inefficient, we should put windmills on solar panels.

      Solar Panel Windmills. Checkmate, nukular nerds.

  It’s not pedantic, just wrong.

  Wind power also involves batteries. This article is about solar and batteries.

  Yes it’s a stupid picture, the solar panels are in the background, not nearly as noticeable as the wind turbines.
