I don't see how that visualization is in any way useful at all. In fact, it's full of a bunch of visual noise that has nothing to do with any salient point: counties where drilling is no longer active. That number grows even as the total number of rigs grows, and it continues to grow as the number of rigs declines. It's not correlated with anything. It's just a bunch of jittery, jumpy, distracting noise.
- nni 12y agowhile it's nice to look at, I had the same impression - maybe there's a critically missing additional note or something that would help clarify this.
- ianamartin 12y agoI'd say there is definitely something missing here: a link bait disclaimer.
- lqdc13 12y agoAnother issue is performance. I tried the site on a phone and on a desktop and it slowed both down to the point that the browser became unresponsive. I think people should think twice before including that much data on the graph.
