The inventor of the wind turbine was Charles F. Brush in 1888.
A wind turbine is a form of electric generation. On top of a tall pole there is a turbine (fan thing) and the wind spins it around. The turbine is connected to a motor which generates an electromagnetic flow from the motion.

A land owner with with wind turbines on their land get $3,000-4,000 a year. 1 wind turbine takes up 1/2 an acre of land. -Bethie
one hundred wind turbines take up one kilometre of land
A wind turbine is not designed to generate wind, it uses wind and generates electricity.
the land where it stand
The cost to maintain a wind turbine is estimated to be about 2% of the original investment per year. The cost of a wind turbine is $50,000.

it is roughly about 70 feet
YES But only if you don't consider the massive amounts of energy required to make the wind turbine and get it into position. The actual energy conversion from wind to electricity is not great but it is free.
The most important thing to know about is your local laws. They will determine how much space they require for a wind turbine. However, half an acre of land is sufficinet if you are allowed to have one. It depends on how much power you want to generate, and if your land has sufficient wind (winds that are at least 10mph and sustained). Power generated is related to turbine size and spacing requirements. I'll assume you want a single residential sized wind turbine with about a 30 ft blade and a 120 foot height. That would need about 250 square feet of clear space.
depends on if it works
