Criticism: I think it would look better if small things were on top of big things. Gas plants and nuclear plants tend to have higher capacity. If that sits near a smaller source, you can’t really see it.
Interesting though
Nice map. Led me down a rabbit hole looking up the Grand Coulee Dam
Surprised to see coal usage, had to pay close attention to the color scheme when comparing.
I love nerding out on energy stuff. Ok, now add a third dimension to indicate base load vs peaker 🙂
Why is wind and coal color so close? Coal should be black, „other“ should be white for clarity. It seems like you want to hide coal use.
[Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_power_stations_in_the_United_States) has a better version of this map.
I love seeing the states that are hot and sunny 350 days a year not giving in to the evil solar power agenda /s
And people want to do away with gas overnight…
Where is this data from? I want to dig in to it a bit.
Super cool viz!
Jesus.
The US is blessed with so much solar potential , wind potential on land and coast.
And they choose to burn toxic stuff..
Interestingly batteries increasing the most year over year of these sources
This isnt right. Diablo canyon produces 8.6% of California’s power producing 18k GWh. Red data point in the middle of California’s coast. looks to be about 7 by the map scale.

This might be easier to digest if each type had its own map, in addition to the combined map. As it is, it’s a jumble of colors that are so overlapped you can’t even see all the sites for a particular type. It’s interesting data for sure, it would just be helpful to break it down by type.
The one electrical plant I’m familiar with marked on this map has been at 0 capacity since 2018. They’re working on it last I heard, but I’d check the data source for actual plant output in 2025.
This is wrong plant schemer is in the middle of GA, is the largest coal plant in North America, and produces 3.7 gigawatts a year, but doesn’t even show on the map.
Why are batteries their own category? It’s a storage device, not a source.
You know, I wonder if autism rates are increased by natural gas exposure. I have to wonder this, because there is no way to get an unbiased study about it now…or any time in the past. Too much money-power protection.
Is it coal? Is it wind? Is it hydro? Found out next time on, shitty map color schemes
When are going to get our head out of our ass and start installing nuclear energy at significant levels?
The colors for coal and wind are too close for me. And I agree that smaller plants should be on top of nearby larger plants.
Great concept though!
