What a fantastic site.
I was surprised to see that India appears to have a denser web of powerlines covering more of its area than the US and was wondering if this was a difference in data, but no, Wikipedia confirms:
> on average there is at least one HV line within a distance of 8.15 km) over the entire area of the country. This represents a total of almost 20% more HV transmission lines than that of the United States (322,000 km (200,000 mi) of 230 kV and above). However the Indian grid transmits far less electricity.

So India is effectively 12x more dense/person/sq.km. than the US. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/India https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/India
