I found this interesting website on global warming art. The site was founded by Robert A. Rohde as an extension of his hobby for playing with climate data and sharing his understanding by contributing content to the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. The site was created in mid 2006, "to allow the science of climate change to be presented in a different and more peaceful format."

Interesting. Red states consume much more electricity than blue states. Those churches must have their lights on full tilt.
Even more interesting is that this is based on per person. There are a lot more people in California then there are in Wyoming. So, this graph is soooo misleading. At first glance one would think Wyoming uses more electricity then California. Why didn't this "researcher" inculde New York and other Deomcrat states.
This graph is quite a good laugh.
Everyone needs a good laugh every now and then.
Wyoming's per person use of electricity is horrifying...and I thought CA was a wasteful state.
Low-density places like Wyoming are even more wasteful when you consider that NYC, Chicago, Miami, and Boston, are massive net taxpayers whose taxes have been diverted away from these cities in order to fund pharoanic water diversion projects such as dams and irrigation systems in order for life to be even possible in places like Wyoming and other parched western states.
Our large, eastern and midwestern cities, all situated in areas with good water supplies and the ability to support many people, have been decimated in order to make life possible in places that are naturally uninhabitable.
Per person use is the most meaningful indicator of waste and inefficiency.
New York City actually has less energy use per person than practically any other place in the country. Large, dense cities are much more efficient in terms of energy use. The average dwelling size in NYC is about 800 sq ft, almost nobody drives, and local services serve many more people than in less dense locales.
It's time to stop paying people to live in places that don't naturally support more than a handful of humans to the more livable eastern half of the country, that still produces most of the tax revenue in this country.
