How long does it take a windmill to recover the power used in its creation?

A windmill takes alot of steel to make, and is not always a very efficient energy source. I’m wondering if anyone knows about how long it would take to recuperate the energy spent in its creation, given a common model of windmill and average set of wind conditions, etc.

For the energy used to create it nobody would sell steel at it this way when you buy the cost is the other.
