  • Role: subject
  • In the article: The article traces Tvind, the alternative school movement founded in Jutland by Mogens Amdi Petersen. Its windmill, Tvindkraft, was then the world’s largest modern windmill and a milestone in renewable energy before the movement was exposed for control and fraud.
  • Why it matters: The windmill is the piece’s emblem: the idealistic achievement that frames the cult-like shadow of the title. The text gives no precise town.
