Article Excerpt:

Driving up the steep gravel road leading up to the Stubbs Vineyard on the northern fringes of Marin County near Marshall, I squinted to see a tiny wind turbine spinning furiously way up at the top of hill, virtually invisible from the nearest road.

Along with 1 kilowatt Southwest Windpower wind turbine the Stubbs’ rely upon less than 1 kW of solar photovoltaics and a bio-diesel back up generator for all of their electricity needs. Because the Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) grid is a mile away from either side of their property, the Stubbs live “off-the-grid” and are likely the greenest vineyard in all of California.
