Actually, the US Government is providing a large subsidy for wind powered generators. There is a GE turbine plant down the road and they've converted over to making HUGE wind powered generators. They stage the main fiberglass body housings in the main parking lot - they're roughly 18 feet tall by 20 by about 30 feet. I'm not sure if there is big as some I've seen in Germany though. The plant has reverted to this because of the subsidy - otherwise it wouldn't be financially possible for them to build them and it mostly saved a large portion of the facility because apparently the demand for gas powered turbines has declined (backup generators).
