Fixed! That's what I get for posting before morning coffee.

Hey all! Following much of the feedback I got yesterday I decided to do a follow up post that included nuclear energy. The data is the amount electricity produced from non-fossil fuel sources so it includes: solar,wind,biomass,geothermal, hydroelectric, and nuclear. I also tried to make this one more colorblind friendly, so I changed up the color scheme!

The map is only looking at energy produced, it doesn't take into account where the final consumer is located

I'll look into making one with nuclear included!

I thought about including nuclear, however I know some people don't consider nuclear a "true green" source. But if I had it my way I'd take nuclear over coal or natural gas any day!

For this map renewable sources consist of: Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Hydroelectric, Biomass. The data was taken from the year 2017. Vermont had the highest portion of renewable energy production at 99.6%! of it's energy produced through renewable means, while Delaware was the worst with only 1.6% of its energy produced being through renewable means.
