[ExI] probably extremely simple physics problem

Recall those Dutch windmills:  huge area on the sails.  Look at the current
enormous wind machines for making electricity: so skinny.

It would seem to a simpleton like me, that the more area you had, the more
wind you caught - but apparently not - or something.

What gives here?
