Work starts on installing 3 wind turbines behind the Kirkstone Pass Inn on Kirkstone Pass in the Lake District, UK. Because of its remote location, the pub is not connected to the grid and currently spends £25,000 a year on a diesel generator. The wind turbines will vastly reduce the need for the generator and are the first wind turbines to get planning permission in the National Park. This shot shows the base section bolted to the foundations.
