I just got wind of an interesting project being organized by Peter Black of the Environmental Defense Fund. It is called the “Climate Atlas Project,” and it appears to be a project developed to visualize the growth of the green/clean tech sector. The maps are great, be sure to check them out. Here it is described in an email they recently sent out:
“As part of his ongoing Climate Atlas project, Peter Black of Environmental Defense Fund (based in San Francisco) recently completed an interactive map showing installed solar panel (PV) generation by zip-code in California. This map is one in a series of maps he is producing on topics ranging from green jobs / clean tech development to potential climate change impacts in California (and across the US).
Example:
If solar PV interests you, or you are drawn to new ways to present geographic based data, please take a moment to visit the site use this interactive map. As you will see however, due to data completeness issues, some zip codes may still have missing data. In addition, at the site, you can find links to several other map’s Peter has already completed for the EDF Climate Atlas – http://blogs.edf.org/climateatlas/
If you are inclined, please write a comment on the blog and tell us what you think.”
Go ahead, check out your Zip!
(Thanks Colleen for letting me know about this great project!)
