pakkei: 6 Extraordinarily Stubborn ‘Nail Houses’: They are so beautiful architecturally as its cracks, residue and size on its surfaces suggests its original surroundings, leaving you in a land of imagination while facing a blunt juxtaposition of old and new in 3D.

colemanm: Visualizing the US power grid. A neat data viz map of the US that allows you to see major power line arteries, types of power plants and their locations, and what source the power comes from in your area. There are even layers that show solar and wind power, and where those are most effective. Looks like Florida is powered by: 38% Gas 28% Coal 17% Oil 13% Nuclear 13% of Florida energy comes from three nuclear facilities: Crystal River, Turkey Point, and St. Lucie. That’s pretty impressive. Nuclear power provides 48% of Illinois’ energy, and a whopping 71% of Vermont’s. It’s also interesting to see how important hydro power is to the Pacific Northwest, mostly sourced from the Grand Coulee and Chief Joseph dams on the Columbia River. (benfry)
