Here is a nice map / data viz by the Washington Post: Mapping how the United States generates its electricity. The interactive map is nice, but suffers from the classic problem associated with graduated symbols maps - the symbols overlay and all you see is a bunch of colored 'blobs' - this would be much better as a zoomable map. Plus, why not make every point symbol (= power plant) clickable?
The simpler maps further down the page are interesting - why is there such a lack of solar power plants in the mid-west? They have plenty of space and sun!
