the wind mill recipe (generator + 4 iron) won't work on newer ic 2 versions.
However on the recipe page on the wiki there is a comming soon sign?
Wind mill recipe not working

What wiki are you looking at that has a coming soon sign?
Anyway, the "wind mill" has been replaced by this: http://wiki.industrial-craft.n…le=Kinetic_Wind_Generator

(okay, it is a lot better but needs rotor maintnence.) -
Well, the recipe for normal windmills was commented out 70 builds ago, so they kinda do replace them. The normal windmills suffered every other green-gen's problems of being spammed up to the point where massive amounts of EU could be made. The KWGs avoid that by having big areas of effect on each other if they're too close.

The proplem is, that currently you only have 2 early game green energy producers; solar panels (wich are expansive and only work on daytime) and water mills (wich are extremly ineffective).

It was never designed to leave you with being able to generate power for free early game though. The geo-gen getting a nerf needing the metal former was evidence of that. For too long people just accepted that spamming solars when they just took 2 cables instead of circuits was the right method of power generation. With the heat and kinetic mechanics coming in, it always was planned to remove direct fuel -> EU, the solid heat generator replacing the standard generator was meant to have happened by now, but Thunderdark was busy with real life stuff, and Player was pre-occupied with other stuff as well, along with fixing the E-net.
