> TL;DR: we can delete most of the emissions of the developed world today by switching heating & car and truck transport to electrical - if we make sure we generate all electricity with near-zero emissions. Just building more renewable generation won't solve it though, as you still need to make sure it covers all consumption everywhere. This map intends to show why that's a complicated problem, and why we should also be smart about where we build renewable generation so that most of the generated energy can also be used and not thrown away because the grid can't handle it.
This is what I wonder about when I drive through West Texas and see massive wind farms in the middle of nowhere.

Copper Sushi doesn't load for me, but I'm wondering how it is going to beat the awesome electricitymaps. They have all the data and quite a good viewer.

#7When looking at France, at a zoom level where one can see the whole country, all the green dots are located next to nuclear power plants. It's a good reminder that the french grid is mostly powered by nuclear.
It'd be nice to see the same map over summer to see if the different electric mix then gives birth to a different map.

It shows a much finer grained representation of the whole transportation network. So you have much better idea of where is electricity produced and consumed within each country.
When it comes to figuring out what the electricity mix is made of, electricitymaps is clearer.
