It's sad, really.

A properly designed wind mill would be an immense partial sphere with an oculus. Tangential vents all around the bottom, impellers at the constriction at the summit, and a rotating downwind exhaust.

You could drive trucks through the ground level vents and farm the interior.

Bucky Fuller said that the main advantage would be indoor maintenance.
