Map of Fatal, Wild Animal Attacks in the US and Canada From 1900 to 2020
Includes attacks from all types of sharks, bears, snakes, alligators, cougars and wolves. The map doesn’t show attacks by pets and other captive animals. Map marker locations have been approximated where reports provided vague locations, eg “off the coast of Oregon.”
Reliable alligator attack data before 1973 was not available at the time of production and was therefore excluded.
Map of the Rise and Fall of Blockbuster Video
Between 1985 and 2010, Blockbuster Video opened thousands of stores across the US. This map shows the locations of US Blockbuster Video stores over time.
The store counts also include Alaska and Hawaii which aren’t shown on the map.
Sources: The per-state store numbers came from archive copies of Blockbuster Inc’s annual 10-K filings with the SEC between 1999 and 2011. The numbers outside of these years were collected from various business news articles with linear extrapolation for the dates in between.
End of Nuclear power in Germany this week. Energy production from 2000 until today.
Closed nuclear power plants replaced mostly by coal power plants.
The ‘intensive use’ of German coal power plants lead to additional emissions of 15.8 million tonnes of CO2 in 2022, according to a report by consultancy Energy Brainpool commissioned by Green Planet Energy. Due to the energy crisis caused by Russia’s war in Ukraine, Germany temporarily reopened decommissioned and soon-to-be decommissioned coal power plants last year to avert gas shortages, which resulted in more CO2 being released. According to the authors, the emissions are ‘additional’ because they are not accounted for in the European Emissions Trading System (ETS). Germany’s total emissions amounted to about 750 million tonnes last year.
