Will Europe's Solar Eclipse Fritz Out Germany's Power Grid? Bestselling Author of The Gratitude Game Offers 5 Solar Facts and Cost-Saving Tips

    SANTA MONICA, CA, March 20, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- On March 20, 2015, Europeans will experience a partial solar eclipse that has power pundits sparked up on whether the grid in Germany will fritz out when the sun stops shining. In an article on the home page at NataliePace.com, renewable energy advocate and bestselling author Natalie Pace predicts it will be much ado about nothing. Utilities have had years to prepare for the eclipse. Further, power is routinely switched over to coal, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, wind, biomass and petroleum when the sun stops shining, as it does every night and on cloudy days.

5 Solar Facts and Cost-Saving Tips
1. Solar is more reliable and sustainable than nuclear. The Fukushima nuclear power plant experienced meltdowns in 3 of its 6 reactors on March 11, 2011 and has never been back online since. Fukushima makes it abundantly clear that when determining the true cost of nuclear power, we must include the price of storing radioactive fuel rods and waste water for thousands of years, the price of decommissioning and the potential devastation of an entire land mass.
2. Solar represented only 1/2% of U.S. grid power in 2014 (source: EIA.gov).
3. Solar water heaters can save most Americans 50-80% off of their water heating bill every year (source: Energy.gov).
4. There is a 30% tax credit available for homeowners that power with renewables, now through December 31, 2016 (source: IRS.gov).
5. Passive solar and other energy efficiency upgrades to your home can reduce your heating bill by up to 90% (source: Passive House Institute U.S.).
