Maybe not the wind, Scott ...but by burning renewable wood (American wood, of course)

Like this pre-petroleum age 20 bottom plow perhaps:

I wonder how efficient horses could get with modern technology in control?

20 horses on a 20 bottom with one man able to automatically harness, feed and control them, from his Air Conditioned cab.

Ok, maybe 20 horses and a pony to run the AC and stereo.
