The map is missing a proper attribution as it is required by OpenStreetMap when using the project's data: https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright/attribution-guide/

It is in the bottom right corner when clicking (i) button just like the https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Attribution_Guideline... suggests. The only questionable part I see is that after page reload it flickers for half a second and then gets automatically hidden instead of getting hidden after manual interaction with map. Is there any other point in attribution requirements that it doesn't comply with?

Watch out, every little map zoom or slide seems to put another url in your browser history. Not exaggerating here, must have found over 100 of them after just a minute or so of playing with the page

This is awesome. It'd be even more awesome if it was easier to show a power plant's info upon hover / click. ...It's currently too much of a cat-and-mouse game for me.

This is really cool! As a weird coincidence I was actually working on something similar focusing on datacenter load per ISO literally earlier today! https://energy-vis-chi.vercel.app/

It takes over 150% CPU and counting. I'm not sure that this page is even loaded in full since it overheated the whole system. This is definitely not cool.

Man thats a beautiful looking map and shows datacenters and other infrastructure too. Very rad.

Massively slow

Completely inaccurate, claiming the uk is currently producing 115GW of electricity for example

Satellites on the outside as well kind of neat. Does Africa not have much opendata sharing or little mapped? Its wildly different on the map for sparsity of info.

This is extremely cool especially for me since I work in sustainability. Wondering if theres a github attached or open to sharing the data or collaborate?

Nice. I had no idea that nearby paper mill includes 200MW of power generation.

Another auto spinning globe with no way to turn that off.

At this point I'm convinced all these globe apps are copying the same examples from somewhere and inheriting the same gimmick.
