    They need to hurry up and tow that windmill outside of the environment.

    I always worry that my solar panels will fail, allowing all that sunlight to overflow through to my house!

    I know this is a meme/satire, but it did make me think.

    Windmills take energy from wind, which slows the wind down. Many crops can be damaged by high winds, so a windmill would theoretically reduce likelihood of this crop damage, but is it enough to be a measurable benefit to the crops, or is a windmill so tall compared to the crops that the benefit is lost in the noise?
