A Windy Nation Indeed

There’s a good chance that anyone who has heard about The Netherlands will picture windmills in their heads. They are not entirely wrong because indeed, the country has a lot of this structure, with some estimating the number to be 1,000. These things are used to convert wind power into energy that can be used by people.

According to AboutTheNetherlands, windmills have long been used to drain water from the land because a large part of the land is located below sea level. Plus, it is useful in grinding grains and making paper, generally providing power without adding to the environmental problem.
