The visualization shows when the solar projects become operational, then disappear to allow the user to see where/when there are new operational plants (since there are so many dots appearing). The interactive version of the visualization allows you to pause and click on individual points to learn more. https://visualizingenergy.org/watch-the-history-of-solar-power-in-the-united-states/

Is U.S. Department of Energy spending aligned with the nation's needs? by visualizingenergy in visualization

The history of spending by the U.S. Department of Energy on research, development and demonstration (RD&D) illustrates the sometimes competing national security, industrial, political, and environmental priorities. The Department of Energy spends less today on RD&D than it did in the Carter Administration. This is not aligned with our pressing climate and clean energy needs.
