this is great

I liked the old website where we could view maps of each type of energy production and distribution networks on the Profiles of US States page as soon as we pulled it up. Very useful for my Geography class. Now it is much more difficult to find these maps.

I've been using EIA state data since 2006 and have to say that this latest change in format has made things more difficult to navigate. I'm mainly interested in accessing state csv files and it's almost impossible to find them now. And why, when finally finding a state, is that map presented with all the meaningless symbols? Finally, I hope in your reworking of the state data you don't change the codes - such as ESTCB, etc. They may seem arcane to users at first, but work very well after one becomes accustomed to them. I hope I'm not being too critical and this helps. Sincerely, Hans N.

Hi, great website. But, the Ameresco Ox Mountain Plant (Code: 56895) in Half Moon bay has the wrong coordinates listed. The following are the correct coordinates: 37.3, -122.2 Thanks!

the map is hard to navigate. the select and zoom in/out functions are a little strange (and where is the reset button??). it is not clear that the users can click on the individual plants to see their details. and it is not clear either what different levels of color shading means (resource abundance??)
