Homeowners can still receive a 30% tax credit for powering their homes with solar (through December 31, 2016).
SANTA MONICA, CA, November 04, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- On Election Day, Natalie Pace, the bestselling author of The Gratitude Game is encouraging everyone to vote for sustainability. "It's easy to feel trapped in our day-to-day problems and ignore the larger picture, which is that our home Earth needs us to clean our act up. For that reason, I'm encouraging all of us to include sustainability as a way of gauging which candidate is right for our future. Who aligns themselves with old school energy and polluters? Who promotes sustainability, conservation and energy efficiency?"
Facts Most of Us Don't Know
1. Homeowners can still receive a 30% tax credit for powering their homes with solar (through December 31, 2016), however some utilities are preventing homeowners from connecting to the grid. Be sure to check out all of your options at energy.gov and with your local utility company.
2. There are four buildings full of radioactive water stored by Tepco near Fukushima. The clean-up and decommissioning process will take decades.
3. There is a quiet decommissioning of nuclear power plants occurring across the U.S. Once you factor in the age of the plants, with the price of storing spent fuel rods, with the price of disasters, nuclear is far more expensive than renewable options. Is your nest egg radioactive? Are you invested in old school nuclear power? Would you want to own TEPCO stock?
4. Utilities added more natural gas, solar and wind power to the electrical grid in the first half of 2014 than any other energy generation option, including coal and nuclear.
5. The average household spends almost $3000 a year on gasoline. That's a decent vacation if you switch to an electric car!
