We could have had this 30 years ago. There have been improvements in the tech and manufacturing, but the main reason for the price drop has been the scale of sales.

Wind Turbine technology has improved very marginally over the last 30 years

What's really changed is capacity of production (and scale - these turbines are truly collosal) combined with the rapidly rising retail cost of electricity.
