    Last month we brought you news of the Solar Lily Pads that are being proposed for Glasgow's Clyde River. In a perfect example of serendipity, we've discovered that the Far Niente winery, located in the Napa Valley region, has implemented a similar idea. Compelled by the desire to shift towards renewable energy, this forward thinking winery has created their very own floating solar power system by installing photovoltaic panels on pontoons!
