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.
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/
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.
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?
If all the schools are on google maps it makes it harder to claim "I thought it was a military base ... and even if it was a school the other guys definately did it"
Or we could just stop spending trillions bombing each other and get back to work.
It is simply difficult to hide. You can just go and look at the infrastructure, after all. I bet almost all the information is from OpenStreetmaps, and people just walked around and added all the power lines, substations and powerplants they saw by hand.
And sure, you can bury the cables, or you can try keeping the output of your powerplants secret. But then the infrastructure nerds (or foreign spies) just count coal hopper railway cars per day and analyze cooling tower dimensions.

Completely inaccurate, claiming the uk is currently producing 115GW of electricity for example
At this point I'm convinced all these globe apps are copying the same examples from somewhere and inheriting the same gimmick.
If you're not using the OSM API, there are also full exports of the complete dataset available at https://planet.openstreetmap.org/
