It's certainly becoming rather ted(ious).

I like windmills.

As an aside... i get my bread flour from Otterton Mill. It was built hundreds of years ago and it's still grinding flour using the River Otter as it's total power source. I'm sure at the time someone only expected it's useful working life to be a few decades, but with good maintainance it's still going strong and producing high quality organic bread flour hundreds of years later. I can't see that windmills would be any different. A steel tower windmill is not going to collapse after twenty years, it just needs a mechanical overhaul.
