Four-feet-wide and 30-feet-tall, the first wind spire in Wisconsin is erected and generating electricity in Sturtevant.

This gadget isn't as big as a windmill, but it does use wind power to create electricity.

Electric Systems and Services builds wind spires. The cost is $15,000.

Wind spires are made by former Michigan auto workers laid off when their jobs were moved to Mexico.
