ScienceHow will Europe’s total solar eclipse put pressure on its energy grid?

Demand for protective glasses has surged across Europe before a rare total solar eclipse, leaving pharmacies, opticians and other retailers struggling to keep supplies available. Experts warn that staring at the eclipse with the naked eye, even briefly, can cause permanent eye damage. CNA examines how the eclipse may place added pressure on Europe’s energy grid. Carnegie Mellon University Professor Ramteen Sioshansi also discusses the potential grid impact with CNA.
