Uhm... read the article to get an idea of the size and weights and dimensions involved in the equipment. The stresses involved in wind generating equipment is very different from the stresses involved in antenna and so forth. I've seen weldments for wind generator towers. They look a lot like the weldments you see in a battleship turret.
Wind generator towers really are single purpose. You cannot 'hang' things off them without some serious engineering changes.
