Might also be a language matter on OP's part? For instance, I know that Europeans often use the term "windmill" for wind turbine, and get corrected that they're using the wrong engineering term. But for many European languages, the word "wind turbine" would be translated to "windmill", even going as far as labelling parts with the word. Never worked with wind turbines, but been curious about this for years since the language is so systematic. A documentary I recently watched had a Danish wind turbine marked as "Mølle 1" or something like that, translating to "Mill 1". I'd be surprised if Norwegians didn't use the word "kabel" (cable) to refer to the thing that carries ski lifts.
