"The Subways of Tazoo", by Colin Kapp, in "The Unorthodox Engineers". Not so much windmilla, as 'harps', where the stretched 'strings' were driven by wind.
It's a short collection of five stories, all very entertaining.

He had probably been reading somewhere that he need not worry about electricity since he is more likely to die of cancer... ;-)
Which is obvious bollocks. As if it were true then matey and his mother would have been weeded out of the gene pool, thousands, if not millions of years ago.
Which is maybe just as well. As otherwise there'd be nobody around who was willing to do the truly unpleasant jobs - cleaning out sewers or septic tanks, working in slaughterhouses or mortuaries etc which the supposedly more gifted among us, clearly feel are beneath them.

Maybe he should have learnt to read the signs by that age? If they can't then they need supervision by their parents.
Its common for 16 yr olds to think they're somehow immune from life's conse quences. How they're brought up really doesn't help imho. But that's really taking it to extremes, and shows a basic mental deficiency. People like th at should be in a care home, not allowed out on their own. Too sad.

No they shouldn't, then we wouldn't have an effective method of cleaning= the gene pool.

I came real close to seeing Elvis, then my shovel broke.
Haven't you noticed the start at function?
The problem is health and softy, which no doubt protected his mother at some point.
It's not like he was pushed.
He might have done, he might have just saved himself going through the turmoils of cancer.
No, if they can't then nevermind.
Well he is now.
Pedant.
It was a question rather than an assumption. And yes, he may already have procreated. Not too many times, one hopes.
But has a 'stupid fat mother'
He deserves to die for that alone.

I liked the Unorthodox Engineers stories, but I tended to get the feeling that the author had first come up with a clever solution, then created a problem that it could solve.
Why? It's usually the mother that creates the child, not the other way around.
