In Response to Matthias
Sounds like it's worth a try.
Well, assuming a 2D-world, it isn't unrealistic at all - the windmills are all lined up there :P
In real life, wind speed indeed decreases behind a first windmill, also, there are turbulences. Those cause the wind to not hit the next rotors straight on, which further lowers the efficiency of other windmills "in line" to that first one. Mechanical parts might also be worn off faster because of that effect.
