What is the break even point for a wind turbine?
How long Would it take for a wind turbine to produce the amount of energy equal to what it took to produce and erect the turbine?
The question isn't what is the money pay back time but what is the energy pay back time? How many Kilowatts of electric to produce and assemble the wind turbine verse how long would the turbine have to run to make back that amount of energy?

The cost of per kw/HOUR is generally 1.5-2X the cost of coal. 10-20 cents.
Payback times would be 4.4 to 6.01 years.
