Detailed explanation-1: -Snowball brims with ideas for improving the farm: he studies Mr. Jones’s books and eventually concocts a scheme to build a windmill, with which the animals could generate electricity and automate many farming tasks, bringing new comforts to the animals’ lives.

Detailed explanation-2: -Snowball champions construction of a windmill in order to provide electricity that would benefit the lives of all the animals on the farm. Not only would they have electric lights and heat, but the machinery would help them complete their labor.

Detailed explanation-3: -Snowball argues in favor of the windmill, which he is certain will eventually become a labor-saving device; Napoleon argues against it, saying that building the windmill will take time and effort away from the more important task of producing food.

Detailed explanation-4: -Why does Snowball want to build a windmill? Snowball wants to build a windmill so it can power a machine to create electricity on the farm. Electricity will improve the animals’ comfort by supplying light and heat in their stalls.
