Solution

Before the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, wind energy served many purposes, but the methods of using it were not efficient. For example, windmills were used to power smaller mills, such as flour mills and saw mills. Nowadays, wind energy is harnessed to produce electricity, which is a better and more efficient use of this form of energy.
