alt Hacker NewsI find this site so fascinating, seeing how all the massive power lines are hooked up to far-away power plants and gradually have their voltage stepped down as they connect to consumers. All the undersea cables and pipelines I didn't know about.

Right? I didn't know there was a 130 MW (diesel) power plant on an island connected and off the coast of Taiwan.

Me too. I particularly recommend looking at the wind farms East of the UK and North of the Northern coast of Europe, and their connections back to land by power lines. Not something you think about when you imagine those seas looking at a regular map.

It’s really interesting how perception of openness changes over time. During cold war publishing this information would send one directly to gulag.
