I can answer some questions on this, but you should know that expecting to "power your house" is largely a dream.
First, I can tell you that wind power would almost certainly be a novelty in your case as well. There are only very few places in Ohio with enough wind to make "wind turbines" logical choices. Aside from a few strips in Champaign county, the majority of that high wind-potential area is along lake erie. As I'm sure you know, wind isn't constant and as with solar panels, a large part of your cost comes from your energy storage system. This is in most cases a big bank of batteries, or something similarly simple for residential applications.
If you're still interested in the anti-generator idea, I might do some more research on solar panels, as they may be more viable than you think. I believe Billiumss has a basic photovoltaic panel setup that powers some electronics in his garage like a radio and I believe some lights. You might ask him about his setup.
