Many winery owners oppose fracking and gas storage in the region; now they're interested in showing that they can power their operations with new technologies.
Our panel explains how it's happening, what it costs, and what's next for solar. Our guests:
- Justin Baca, senior director of research, Solar Energy Industries Association
