I think the rushing current of Agnes’ imagination could turn enough windmills to light up a small city, if we could just figure out how to hook it up.
You could do it directly, of course… synapse to conduit, no windmills or generators to break the flow…but DC that strong might blow out the transformers.
They don’t generate any wind.nor does a windmill mill wind — or grain necessarily.
Even wind powered electric generator may not apply. Maybe she just wants to mechanical energy directly to mechanical energy — wind turns turbine turns sharpener. Thus you could only sharpen pencils when the wind blows. Leave windows open..Best would be to convert to mechanical pencils and save trees and energy.
Windmills wouldn’t work in the Principal’s office. we haven’t heard him speak – so we don’t know if he’s full of air. .And I think Agnes is DC – but the frequency is variable and inconsistent.

So now she’s being punished for caring about the planet? We can’t all be mindless drones.

Is that Bob’s cousin sitting behind Agnes in Panel 1?

This is the first time I’ve seen the teacher send Agnes away without a good reason.

Just tell the feds your idea for a wind powered electric pencil sharpener and you’re sure to get a million dollar grant. Way to go, Agnes!

…i didn’t ‘mistake’ what she said. I ‘deliberately’ turned it around. Loses all its humour when you have to explain it to the clueless. Sigh…
