Wind power.... That sounds pretty interesting. There's more light breezes than actual wind in my part of California (except during storms or the occasional fall blustery day) but low set up cost sounds nice. I'd be concerned about bird safety, but a really good generator design may be able to null that risk. Certainly something I'll consider and research.
BTW, I truly doubt that a small windmill on a roof can be seen as dorky. Just something unique and practical to differentiate your own house from the cookie cutter varieties out there.
'Course I'd be overly tempted to also install a small statue of Don Quixote tilting at it. Wouldn't that irk the neighborhood committee?
