I think it would not be feasible to add these to most buildings. Wind power is very heavy and there are a lot of obvious wind forces acting on the structures. Buildings were not engineered to take those loads.

It takes 45 tonnes of rebar and 480 cubic meters of concrete to just anchor these into the ground.
