    The idea for the windmill seems, at first glance, ridiculous.  It is a huge undertaking for a group of animals, especially considering that most of them probably lack opposable thumbs.

     However, as Snowball says, electricity could bring many benefits to the farm in terms of new equipment, etc.  So it is reasonable to want the windmill, but difficult to actually do it.
