Solar Power & Wineries

The St. Helena Star published an article today about solar power and wineries; Ted Hall gave a talk on how places like Frog's Leap and Domaine Carners are using solar power to reduce air pollution and the total cost of energy consumption at their wineries.

This kind of proactive arrangement lends even more credence to the idea that supporting those in the wine business who wine put up on a pedastal, who cherish the tradition and history of wine is a worthwhile endeavor (historically, corporate consumers of the agriculture business have tried to lie low, shying away from the scrutiny of environmentalists, though that too has been changing).
