Hello Jim,
Wind is a force but a windmill generates energy. We can use the energy
to move the windmill up against the force. If it's a small mill on a
big base it wont go very fast of course. But it's an energy
harvesting device that has to overcome a force so eventually even the
smallest mill can build up enough force to overcome the wind. It's
just a bit of gearing. But the wind becomes much more intense from
even the slightest acceleration.
