    power came from animals, wind, and water. These powers were used to mill flower, run basic machinery, and transport goods. Wind was a very easily harnessed source of energy. It requires nothing more than a large propeller (windmill) or a sail (transportation). The issue with wind power is that it is very unreliable. It can only be productively used on a very flat land with no obstructions and even then it is impossible to predict what the wind would do in the future. Wind power was primarily…
