Why install a windmill?

We tend to forget about old technology because we are told the new way is more convenient. But is it?

Most farmers now depend on their electric pressure pumps to provide their water, but they pay for this with every power bill, and have no water when there is a power outage. With a windmill you have water provided by the wind, no extra charges on your power bill and you are not affected by power outages. Which system is better?

Even Windmills built in the 1920's will still provide an efficient power source if properly maintained, they will outlast solar pumps by many years.

Most farmers usually acknowledge that they dont spend much on the windmill - a couple of pump cups every couple of years. Other arguments against windmills centre on safety issues. Although windmills as such are not unsafe, there are more and more inexperienced people working on them. Experienced contractors should do the work on windmills
