Just wanted to comment on the paragraph regarding the new Facebook application, “Green My Vino”. You are correct that the first winery converted to renewable energy once the 10,000-minute goal was reached. And you are also correct that the three other initial wineries made the same commitment as higher goals were reached. However, you have underestimated the success of Green My Vino to date. In addition to the initial four wineries, five other California wineries have converted to clean energy through Green My Vino. This has been done with the tremendous support of the application users, who have sent a total of 540,143 minutes of renewable energy in less than one month’s time! To put this in perspective, this equates to approximately $36,000 being raised for renewable energy generation in California. Great article about the potential for solar energy.
