Reply to comment by noiamholmstar in Chart: What's the top source of electricity in your state? by MrMike

That wasn’t the point of the map though. That’s a totally different measure if you’re comparing fossil fuels to renewables. This was by generation source. None of this is misleading, you’re just wanting to look at something completely different.

It’s taking a single data point out of context of the broader picture. That’s fair criticism of the way that data is being presented. If the map also showed the percentage for the largest share, then I would have no issue with it.

It’s literally “largest source of energy in every state.” It shows exactly what it is claiming to depict. You’re wanting it to show something different than what it does depict. You’re dense as hell.

I agree that it shows what it states, but focusing on that is of very limited value without additional information. You might be condescending as hell and consider that beautiful, but I don’t.
