They have been using wood for windmill blades for hundreds of years
you do realize windmills and wind turbines are slightly different, right?
you're basically using a 2 story wood house to justify building a skyscraper out of wood, that's obviously not how it works, did you even think about this for 5 seconds lol?
This isn't reddit. You don't need to be so mean.
The larger old windmills could definitely be used as a comparison to modern wind turbines.
The arrogance.
