In China, lots of companies and shops have one or more diesel engines just to cope with the electricity shortage. GE is promoting wind power in China as well. I do not think GE is promoting wind power In USA. I do not think this is feasible in USA since the electricity generation capacity is quite okay. Only the transmission system has some problems. I hear that the power companies are not keen on the idea of home based distributed power generation at all.
