I wonder how many other states have super unleaded being cheaper than regular unleaded

The link actually has a nice infographic on the affordability. Check it out!

what happened in 2008 in Illinois - seems like coal took over for a short time there...

I’m surprised New Mexico’s was Coal instead of Natural Gas. The wind surprised me even more.

The standard deduction is what the government expects someone making the median income to have as legitimate non-taxable expenses. If you're making >$300k, your legitimate deductions are likely multiple times that amount. Talk to a tax lawyer (not an accountant). It hurts to see someone just voluntarily forking over their rightful income to the government. If you're doing it out of benevolence, there are likely charities that directed contributions to can provide far more efficient use of the funds.

Needs to be normalized as a ratio of miles to relative county size.

I caught that, too. It makes hydro and gas look related somehow. Coal and oil are black and grey, for comparison.

A better colour scheme would change: dark blue hydro, light blue wind, yellow nuclear, coral gas.

Gotta lotta cricks up here

Electrical Helper?

So what, an electrician can't simply hire a gofer, they have to hire a licensed gofer? Or are they actually allowed to sign-off on some kinds of electrical work?

Thank you for the advice, but I’ve already done all of that lol.

I do have adhd, take a low dose antidepressant, and see a therapist once a month. I also study psychology and hope to have a career in it.

Confusing when it wraps around the right to the left of the graph. Should make it continuous

I would hope that you have a commercial operation included in your system sizing bc 27 kW is like 4 households worth of juice.

Look for paybacks in the 5 to 10 year range. More than that and your installer is selling you more than you need! You sill not compete with your utility =)

And for Pete's sake: 1) conservation (it's free!) 2) efficiency (as much as 10:1 payback for demand reductions and energy use optimization) 3) go ahead and get a pv array.

So let’s add another data set to Canada’s data to give a better understanding of the percentage of population by Province/Territory whose majority electrical power generation is from green sources as our province and territory borders are quite large but many of them have low population as the majority of Canada’s population is in a concentrated area in Southern Ontario and Southern Quebec.

Canada total = 39,292,355 (100%)
Newfoundland and Labrador = 528,818 (1.35%)
Prince Edward Island = 172,707 (0.44%)
Nova Scotia = 1,030,953 (2.62%)
New Brunswick = 820,786 (2.09%)
Quebec = 8,751,352 (22.27%)
Ontario = 15,262,660 (38.84%)
Manitoba = 1,420,228 (3.61%)
Saskatchewan = 1,205,119 (3.07%)
Alberta = 4,601,314 (11.71%)
British Columbia = 5,368,266 (13.66%)
Yukon = 43,964 (0.11%)
Northwest Territories = 45,602 (0.12%)
Nunavut = 40,586 (0.10%)

So armed with this data we can see that only 5 Provinces/Territories majority of sources of electricity are not green and when we look at percentage of population those 5 account for only 17.63% of the entire Canadian population meaning 82.37% of Canadians majority source for electrical power generation come from green sources.

And this is backed by Stats Canada who reports Canada's electrical power generation by source and the last month published (Nov. 2022) saw only 18.61% of all electrical power generated came from combustible fuels, and that includes the "Other types of electricity generation" as I can't say for certain that the energy produced was green, so it is possible it is lower than 18.61%

This is surprising. I know of multiple low income jobs that require licensing in other states but not in Idaho. Like phlebotomist and speech language pathology assistant.

Why you color Natural Gas Blue and Nuclear orange

is this some kind of propaganda?

The sad thing is that a lot of other industries are making money hand over fist and simply don't pay. I work for a corporate entity that (comically) isn't bad in regards to executive comp vs employee comp, and our CEO still makes 134 times the median salary. I think the US national average in that stat was that CEOs make 399 times the salary of the median employee. That's fucked up.

For a while there i thought it was a Terraria map

looks like the subway map of Wyoming I made

Too bad other industries are not so flush with cash to dole out.

I started in IT and moved into our RnD dept. I'm a cloud infrastructure engineer/devops engineer.

EDIT - looks like OP and I are in similar-ish fields and they have a similar experience. It does kind of suck, but it is what it is.

Is NWT switching to oil because the needs outweigh the hydro production? Or is there something fishy going on there??

Looks eerily like the map of Dark Souls 1.

TIL Waterpower accounts for over 60% of the total electricity generated in Canada.

In what industry?

Too bad other industries are not so flush with cash to dole out.
