If y’all think windmills are cool, think about a helicopter. How much gas is needed to spin the thing. Then you think backwards: how fast the windmill has to spin (how slow but big) to match the gas engine. mmmmmk?

Youre premise is wrong.
The size/mass and slow movement is also creating MASSIVE torque.
That spins a gear box that amplifies speed and generates electricity.
But energy can’t be generated, only transferred.
It's not 'generating' energy, it's transferring the energy from the wind into electrical energy. Not very efficiently, and not as efficiently as fossil fuels do, but that's what is happening in a wind turbine. It just transfers wind energy into electrical energy, which can be distributed and/or stored.
And?
Yes. This is true. When you apply electrical loads to a turbine, the load would create torque, thus, slowing down the turbine.
Yes.
Newtons law.
