Blimey! Tony Blair visits Sonoma County

Tony Blair, the former prime minister of Great Britain, was in Sonoma County yesterday. Surrounded by agents from the Secret Service and Scotland Yard, Tony made a quick swing through the small town of Graton for a private event to dedicate a solar energy project at Sonoma Wine Company, the town's major employer. Tony was at the facility to see for himself how their large-scale solar generation project works. Sonoma Wine Company performs custom grape crushing for many wineries and also produces its own labels, and the facility uses a lot of energy. Tony has a personal interest in the solar project's success, as he is now a senior advisor to the Silicon Valley-based venture fund that made it possible.
