Statistical Maps

So, it's Friday and I don't have a lot of time to update, but I thought something really quick and interesting would help me get through the weekend? haha.
Seriously, these pictures are pretty interesting. The first shows how much per state (in a range) each state in the United States pays for electricity costs (something to consider when running an air conditioning or heating unit). Please keep in mind that this is from 1993 and now the current government standard for SEER is 13, so people who have upgraded are actually paying for 30% less cooling than they would if they had a 10 SEER. Confusing...I know, I will tackle that Monday maybe - if you're concerned email me. The second, picture is a representation of how people thought the summer of 2008 was going to turn out. Having completed it, I thought that we would go over it and see if it was generally correct. Those sciency people hate being wrong.
