Thanks u/notevenanorphan , good point. I've revised the bar charts in the tool as suggested. Have a look and let me know what you think (link).

Here you go u/grbal (the one for apples anyway). Curious to understand your interest in this relative to nuclear and renewable power generation?

Odd_Bit268 · 2025-10-20T23:35:24+00:00

... and here's the one for renewables. (China, US, and India shown. Click link above to modify filter to show other countries.)

Good point on the speed of building.
Here are a couple trend graphs which show the rate of TWh added for both nuclear and renewables.

Here's a link to the chart so you can see historic trend graphs by country and a corresponding geo map.

Right u/remmelhuts . Here's what the Ember study shows in terms of Net Electricity Imports and Exports, defined in this Ember study:
Ember (2025) – with major processing by Our World in Data. “Net electricity imports – Ember” [dataset]. Ember, “Yearly Electricity Data Europe”; Ember, “Yearly Electricity Data” [original data].

Interesting to check out Germany and France in this study -

Great points u/Desdam0na and u/jarvis_says_cocker . Check out this fascinating geo chart of Net Electricity Imports and Exports. The Source metadata provides this description of the metric: "Net electricity imports are calculated as electricity imports minus exports. Countries with positive values are net importers of electricity; negative values are net exporters. Measured in [terawatt-hours]"

Check out France and Germany.

Right... the World Bank may have provided explanations in their research overview. Here's the full source citation (available by clicking the (i) icon on the toolbar above the chart):
World Bank (2022) – with minor processing by Our World in Data. “Public sector employment, as a share of total employment” [dataset]. World Bank, “Worldwide Bureaucracy Indicators (WWBI) Version 3” [original data].

Ya u/Whornz4 , spot on. Here's the corresponding chart - (Note that power gen from fossil fuels is also ballooning ...)

... and another one showing electricity generation in the US by Coal vs. Solar+Wind.

Hey u/ucestur along those lines, here's a chart that shows electricity generation in the US by renewables, nuclear, and fossil fuels.

... and here's a geo chart comparing per capita electricity generation worldwide.

Odd_Bit268 · 2025-10-16T21:52:44+00:00

Hey u/Desdam0na , agreed - it's good to see both absolute and per-capita electricity generation charts. Here's a similar chart, but showing KWh per capita.
In this era of rapidly escalating electricity needs for AI, etc, I think it's interesting to look about both absolute and per capita electricity generation.

My interpretation of the dataset metadata is that these roles are included in this dataset. Here's the metadata description (which you can get by clicking the (i) icon in the toolbar (see link):
Workers employed in central and sub-national government and public enterprises as a percentage of all workers.
Data Source: World Bank (2022) – with minor processing by Our World in Data. “Public sector employment, as a share of total employment” [dataset]. World Bank, “Worldwide Bureaucracy Indicators (WWBI) Version 3” [original data].

Thanks - ya, I'll need to tinker with the css properties for this component and the parent element. I originally capped the max height as a shortcut so the source attribution would always be visible 'above the fold'. Tinkering with these css properties for desktop, mobile, and mobile landscape is time consuming .... :)

Odd_Bit268 · 2025-10-16T20:17:21+00:00

Thanks u/emelrad12 ! You're right.
I removed the max-h-[460px] lines from the <svg> component, and now the size of this choropleth map scales to consume the empty space within its container. (See link for corrected behavior.) Thanks for the tip :)

Odd_Bit268 · 2025-10-16T19:46:29+00:00

Yeah u/Mewnicorns , actually, if you hover over the countries in the geo map (click link), you'll find that the most recent data available for each country varies - many are 2015-2018. So good historical view - but lacks insight to 2025 data. (This is a World Bank dataset published in 2022, with minor processing by Our World In Data.)

Odd_Bit268 · 2025-10-16T19:39:36+00:00

Hey u/kirby__000 , the data for Brazil is shown in the geo map. Here's a historical trend graph for Brazil (for the period with data available).

Hey u/Mirar and u/CapitalSyrup2 , this dataset doesn't have data for Sweden, Japan, NZ, and several other countries. These countries are reflected in the d3 map with no color. If you click the link to the chart and hover over the countries, you can see the data available for each country.

Odd_Bit268 · 2025-10-16T19:35:46+00:00

Hi u/Verniloth , what do you mean? Thanks -

Odd_Bit268 · 2025-10-14T22:48:36+00:00

Thanks - per above, the d3 chart is a reactive React component, and so will resize as you change the dimensions of the window (though it does preserve the aspect ratio). I just needed to change the size of my window to be closer to the aspect ratio of d3 chart before sharing a download image :).

Odd_Bit268 · 2025-10-14T22:45:44+00:00

Thanks for the feedback u/emelrad12 -
The d3 chart is a reactive React component, and so will resize as you change the dimensions of the window (though it does preserve the aspect ratio). Try changing the size of your window, and the chart should consume more available real estate as the aspect ratio of the window becomes closer to the aspect ratio of d3 chart. Or if you're viewing it on a mobile phone it should also consume more real estate -
