That is only half of the problem. Like with most wind systems, you generate DC. For you to have a serious system, you would need to have a battery system, a static inverter and a "dump" for the times when you produce too much power.
While techincally you can connect the static inverter to your mains in the house, the utilities do not like this. Not so much because you "competing" with them, but mostly because of the danger if the system is not put together correctly. Secondary power feeds are usually what kill linemen.
Texas does allow net metering. But if you produce too much power, beyond your uses, all you get it the cost avoidance rate ($0.04/kwh).
