The electricity it uses isn't low cost though.

You may have to EAT your words: GE unit investing in wind farms in 4 states Associated Press STAMFORD, Conn. - GE Energy Financial Services announced Thursday it is investing $270 million in wind farms in California, Illinois, New Mexico and Pennsylvania.
The company, a unit of Fairfield-based General Electric Co., is investing along with a subsidiary of Charlotte, N.C.-based Wachovia Corp. in six wind farms owned by affiliates of global investment and advisory firm Babcock & Brown.
"This transaction continues the expansion of the geographic footprint and technology mix of our wind holdings," said Kevin Walsh, GE Energy Financial Service's managing director and leader of renewable energy.
All of the wind farms have either been completed or will be completed by the end of April, except the Pennsylvania operation, expected to be finished by December.
GE shares traded at $36.21, down 26 cents, Thursday morning on the New York Stock Exchange.
The announcement is the latest in a series of deals to expand GE's foothold in wind power production. On Wednesday, GE Energy Financial Services announced it would sell 165-megawatt wind farms in Germany for 5.2 million shares of Theolia, a Paris-based company that generates electricity from wind power.
GE Energy Financial Services also purchased an additional 1.2 million shares of Theolia stock for about $26 million and has the opportunity to increase its ownership to up to 22 percent of Theolia.
In September, GE Energy Financial Services announced it would finance the construction and operation of Tawhiri Power LLC's wind farm in Hawaii.

Wind generated electricity is typically about twice the price of coal generated.
