    Another thing to note, to your point, is that a windmill breaks down and requires energy to repair. These wind towers in Yazd are still there and doing the same thing from hundreds of years ago

      Very true. The best machines have the fewest moving parts

      True, and it wasn’t meant as an attack at all, just a question out of curiosity. The towers are super cool
