Visualizing Data on Energy Mix, Subreddits, Crime & Ice Cream Availability
Summary
To visualize shifts in America’s energy mix over the last two decades, The New York Times used the ribbon chart technique which appears (or is known) to be greatly illustrative and helpful in such data analysis. While fossil fuels remain generally the largest source of electricity across the United States, coal already yields to natural gas and renewables such as solar panels and wind turbines. Mais Hatem, a computer science student at The American University of Beirut (Lebanon), created a stunning Reddit data visualization tool. “I’m sorry mcdonald’s data analyst I’m afraid I’m ruining your entire mobile conversion metrics for my own personal amusement,” Rashiq tweeted soon after the public launch. Then he added: “… mcdonald’s keeps track which locations have a broken machine, I’m merely querying for those — no order gets executed, no ice cream is actually wasted.” Wow!
