Over time, yes, the cost of the installation and ongoing maintenance of a Wind Power Turbine can be recovered from the sale of the electricity produced. However, the length of time required is dependent on the location (available wind) and the price you receive for the power generated.

How many watts does a wind turbine produce?
A single 1.8 mega watt turbine, in one year, can produce 5.0 million kilowatts of electricity and supply enough power to generate for five hundred homes. 20 1.8 mega watt turbines, in one year can produce 2 billion kilowatts of electricity and supply enough power to generate 10,000 homes. 20 1.8 mega watt turbines, over twenty years, can produce 100 billion kilowatts of CLEAN electricity and supply enough power to generate 10,000 homes.
What is coal fired power?
A power plant in which coal is burned to move generating turbines to produce electricity.
What is coal fire power plant?

What is a problem using wind turbines to produce energy?
The two major disadvantages of wind power include initial cost and technology immaturity.
How does wind power produce energy?
They are used to turn the blades of large wind turbines, which generate electricity.
How is steam used to power a nuclear submarine?
Steam from the nuclear reactor turns turbines. These turbines either turn the propeller directly or turn generators that produce electricity to power electric motors which turn the propellor.
What are turbines used for in an electric power plant?
They are spun by steam or by falling water, and turn the generators that produce electricity.
A dam constructed to produce tidal power does so by?
harnessing water flow to drive turbines and electric generators
How does nuclear produce power?
The same way fossil fuel plants do, making steam and turning turbines which turn generators/alternators.Nuclear fission generates heat which flashes water to steam which spins turbines that spin generators that produce electricity.
How does hydro power produce in dams?
Hydroelectricity is produced by water flower through water turbines in the dam creating electricty. Thus hydro-power.
