It looks like just a "low resolution" vector file used for the map. I'm sure the author can swap in a base map with more path points -- probably from the same source as their original map -- and recreate the graphic within a few minutes.

How do you pay so little in taxes? If this is normal I can see why all public systems in the US are going to shit

Just moved to Iowa and am pleasantly surprised by all the wind energy and ethanol-including gas.

Despite any opinions on the graphic itself, the reduction of emissions and increasing reliance on wind in the Midwest is indeed beautiful!

Reply to comment by Bobdole859 in [OC] Value of solar after one year by _Glen_
If your payoff period is that long, I would get another quote. Or look at making your home more efficient. I’m getting solar now and the break even Point is projected around 7 years.

Source: My tax returns
Tool: Google sheets
My effective tax rate was calculated by simply dividing the total amount I paid in taxes by my total income. I filed as married each year and we had kids in 2011, 2013, and 2017. My wife and I both graduated college in 2012 but she has stayed home with the kids since the first one was born. She returned to work for the last 3 months of 2022.

Those aren't the units on that axis. It's kg CO2 per MWh

Yes. There's several counties in the southwest that have next to nothing in them but because a railroad crosses them they are counted as dark green.

You took a look at those borders and thought that this was 'beautiful'? Do you have functioning eyes?

This data is not beautiful, it's hard to read the year and you mangled the borders for no reason.

Reply to comment by Bobdole859 in [OC] Value of solar after one year by _Glen_
Not OP, but I've had a 12.3kw system for two months now. Electric here is $0.085/kwh and the utility buys it back for $0.027.
Why a 27kw system? That sounds huge if residential. We have 2800 finished square feet and use about 2000kwh/month and I think 12.3kw may have been overkill.

Also, the grayed out year in the chart in the top right is less than helpful.

Can you comment on the cost of elect in your area + the price the utility buys it back?
I’ve got a quote for a ~27kw system but the payback period is currently estimated at 15yrs and I just cannot rationalize that long of a pay back. How fast will yours payback do you think?
Currently looking at the ‘low hanging fruit’ to reduce my load.
