Hallo Mary Lynn, For those of us for whom English is a second language we should be clear. A windmill is a grain grinding mill powered by wind. Windmill is not a generic name for any wind powered apparatus although it is used as such by many. Many people if not most people still call a wind turbine a windmill. The case is the same for "steam shovel" although the "steam" has not been used for these many decades. Just for clarity for those whose English is not native to them.
