    Did they merge Belarus and Ukraine on this map? Also Poland’s out here trying to be American.

      Belarus was actually always Ukrainian territory, historically…

      I mean, if that excuse works for russia, why not us?

      You can see a faint border - they’re just both gray, I assume for no data like Kaliningrad and Albania.

      Poland is actually trying to be Amerikkkam, they are obsessed. They even tried going for the extreme racism.

    In terms of area, aren’t the size of the various American grids roughly the same size as the ones that comprise the individual countries in Europe?

    The bigger the grid the bigger the impact of failure (which does happen) and the harder to get it back up.

    You want a grid big enough to have some variety in use, generation, and weather, but not so big that one malfunction takes out everyone.

    Aside from Texas, the US grid is just fine.

      Quite the opposite, bigger grids are much more stable. When faults happen, tiny subsets of the grid get disconnected from the rest, it does not take the whole thing down at all…

      The colors of the grids represent CO2 emissions
