Dear *gawd* are windmills pretty. I mean, nuclear energy is all well and good, and I hear grand things about solar, but wind power leads to some *gorgeous* structures.

Kinderdijk is a village in the Netherlands, partly in the municipality Nieuw-Lekkerland, partly in the municipality of Alblasserdam. It lies about 15km east of Rotterdam.
The village is situated in a polder at the confluence of the rivers Lek and Noord. To drain the polder, a system of 19 windmills was built around 1740. This group of mills is the largest concentration of old windmills in the Netherlands.
The windmills of Kinderdijk are one of the best known Dutch tourist sites. They were placed on the list of UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1997.
This windmill was build in 1648 but not used anymore for its primary function (removing water from the polder)
But nevertheless this windmill is still able to operate.
Road Trip time again, though somewhat different than our usual version. This one pointed us south through the Indiana windmill fields. I've posted pictures of these windmills before, probably a number of times, and I've probably posted my anti-windmill rant. Much of northern Indiana is windmill now, though oddly I can't find any information concerning what impact that's had on energy production or fossil fuel usage, either among popular sources or scientific journals. If the windmill is truly useful as a renewable energy source, this farm of something like 500 windmills should have displaced some coal demand, and this should be fairly easy to track. But nobody's looked into it. This makes me suspicious. You'd think somebody would have done that research.
