windmills are a good idea, we should put one on every farm and school in the world
nuclear power is an even better idea, we should put up a lot more of them

Humans used the wind as an energy source for a long time. The Babylonians and Chinese were using wind power to pump water for irrigating crops 4000 years ago.
Wind power can reduce your utility bills dramatically or bring power to remote areas cost-effectively. Wind power can be an excellent complement to a solar power system. In Colorado, when the sun isn't shining..it is a good start.

Harvesting wind power is an excellent idea and it is currently being used. However, advance technology is needed to integrate the power produced by windmills to the national grid.
Individual windmills tend to perform better than wind farm. Offshore wind farm is a great way to harvest wind power as some parts of the ocean is very windy.
