It already caught on in EU, just not in USA yet. We just need to get it built for Americans to see it is not a bad thing and who "cares" about seeing it in your vision (ref to Cape Wind).
Also, land windmills is already taking off slowly as mentioned in the article:
> If that sounds ambitious, consider that the country has installed some 50,000 wind turbines on land over the past two decades. They now supply roughly 5 percent of the nation’s electric power, a figure that reaches double digits in particularly windy states like Kansas and Iowa.
> The technology has been proved in Europe, where offshore wind farms as large as 300 turbines are being developed, with each turbine costing up to $30 million to build, install and connect to the power grid.
