From the beginning of recorded history, people have been harnessing wind energy. Wind power was used to propel boats along the Nile River as early as 5000 B.C. and by 200 B.C. simple windmills in China were pumping water, while vertical-axis windmills with woven reed sails were providing wind power for grinding grain in Persia and the Middle East.
