The difference between surface solar radiation levels in the US and Europe are wild[1], fully agree on the rounding error view. Anchorage seems to receive the same level of watts per area as Germany and Poland.

- Gibbon1 2y agoAmusing southern California is getting more watts per m2 then A lot of North Africa. This is a good source, population by latitude. http://www.statsmapsnpix.com/2021/11/world-population-by-latitude.html http://www.statsmapsnpix.com/2021/11/world-population-by-lat...
- taneliv 2y agoIt's missing the "most population in smallest (circular) area" view, as defined in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valeriepieris_circle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valeriepieris_circle .
- Gibbon1 2y agoNeed a renewables feasibility index that accounts for the amount of solar, wind, hydro vs climate and typical weather. And bin plot population vs that. Seems obvious that Norway, Washington State have lots of hydro. Places like Spain and California have lots of steady sun. Scotland, no sun in the winter but lots wind all the time. Those places renewables aren't problematic.
