Woodbury may get new spin on school power
A wind turbine proposed for Woodbury's new high school would provide the building's electricity. Jim Bain has a dream: Powering Woodbury's newest high school with a single wind turbine that might produce enough electricity to even supply the city's Bielenberg Sports Center next door. East Ridge High School, which will open with about 1,200 students in 2009, is being built with a wind turbine in mind even though the proposal -- which could become a joint venture with Woodbury city government -- remains in the early stages. "We are actively pursuing this as if it could be a reality," said Tom Nelson, superintendent of District 833. "It makes sense economically, it makes sense environmentally, but we have a ways to go."
