ROI would be long, long, long. One guy is installing 10Kw units for
$25k. Even at 25 cents per KwH, payback takes over a decade, longer
if you have any maintenance whatsoever. But, you're doing something
green (spending them) and helping save the old grid. Go for it, guys!

LJ sez: If I lived in an area where the wind was blowing 23 mph all
day, I'd move to somewhere more friendly to lifeforms.
