There's some small wind generation (e.g. designed to go on top of buildings), though I don't think it's ever been a significant commercial success.

I understand the problem to be energy RoI. The larger the size of a wind turbine’s blade, the more energy it produces compared to the cost of producing it. Small wind systems just can’t avail themselves of these economies of scale.
