District: Turbine not up to speed
School contends savings falling short of promises
ERIE – The Erie school district is touted as the first in the United States to power more than one building with a single wind turbine.

With the current rate of savings, the district now estimates the payback time will be twice as long – 24 years instead of 12, Superintendent Brad Cox said.
