Egon, When reading your first paragraph, I thought the punchline was going to be "CLOUDS and RAIN." Windmills are going away. I for one miss them. Call me sentimental but I like them. They are getting (already are) quite scarce hereabouts where they used to be very plentiful.
I haven't verified all of this but it sounds reasonable: I heard comments that with the advent of deep wells and large irrigation systems, some aquafers have been lowered such that many windmills, or the wells they were installed on, are no longer usable.
