A curious tale of the North Sea winds

IF I POINTED out that all dogs have four legs, then said therefore all four-legged animals are dogs, it would raise an eyebrow or two, though in these woke-soaked days some might hesitate before disagreeing. It is of course a non sequitur, a conclusion that doesn’t follow logically from the previous statement.

Here’s another one, and see if you can spot the error: we’ve been using windmills for hundreds of years, therefore we can generate constant and virtually free electricity if we put up lots of wind turbines, especially at sea, where the wind is both constant and stronger.
