Chesapeake school to use wind power — ADVANCE FOR SATURDAY, JULY 12 - Wind turbines turn in the breeze on Wednesday, July 2, 2014, at a Virginia Beach Public School bus yard in Virginia Beach, Va. Budgets are tight, so school divisions around the nation are looking for ways to cut costs. In 2005, the U.S. Energy Department launched the Wind for Schools project to help those interested in tapping into that power source. By last year, more than 130 systems had been installed at schools in 11 states, including more than a dozen across Virginia and North Carolina.
