OpenGridWorks: The Electricity Infrasctructure, Mapped

This is extremely cool especially for me since I work in sustainability. Wondering if theres a github attached or open to sharing the data or collaborate?

This is really cool! As a weird coincidence I was actually working on something similar focusing on datacenter load per ISO literally earlier today! https://energy-vis-chi.vercel.app/

Man thats a beautiful looking map and shows datacenters and other infrastructure too. Very rad.

This is awesome. It'd be even more awesome if it was easier to show a power plant's info upon hover / click. ...It's currently too much of a cat-and-mouse game for me.

The map is missing a proper attribution as it is required by OpenStreetMap when using the project's data: https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright/attribution-guide/

It takes over 150% CPU and counting. I'm not sure that this page is even loaded in full since it overheated the whole system. This is definitely not cool.

Another auto spinning globe with no way to turn that off. At this point I'm convinced all these globe apps are copying the same examples from somewhere and inheriting the same gimmick.
