Wind Energy in Ketton
In 2004 Rutland County Council planning committee resolved to approve a planning application for a single wind turbine on land adjacent to the cement works off Steadfold Lane in Ketton. However issues surrounding fast jets flying from RAF Cottesmore meant that a planning permission was never formally issued.
In 2011 REG Windpower announced plans to install two wind turbines near Steadfold Lane. The proposal was withdrawn in August 2012.

Famous quotes containing the words wind and/or energy:
“He is the best sailor who can steer within the fewest points of the wind, and extract a motive power out of the greatest obstacles. Most begin to veer and tack as soon as the wind changes from aft, and as within the tropics it does not blow from all points of the compass, there are some harbors which they can never reach.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The principle of avoiding the unnecessary expenditure of energy has enabled the species to survive in a world full of stimuli; but it prevents the survival of the aristocracy.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
