This windmill will pay for itself before the year is over.
My parents just built (a few months ago) one of the first LEED-certified residential homes in the county. Green everything, LED/CCFL lighting, solar electricity, solar water heating assist, passive solar heating, the whole nine yards. I expect it wasn't cheap. I've stopped by a few times since they moved in - it's pretty sharp! They're on track to get electric credits I think too...
