The five states or jurisdictions with the largest increases are DC, Maine, Maryland, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. Almost all of them are on the same regional electric grid.

Gun control, abortion rights, drug legalization — it seems like every argument these days claims that if X happens, then Y will follow, and we’ll all be doomed to Z. Is the slippery-slope argument a valid logical construction or just a game of feelingsball?

Why it's important for a company to balance technology, vision, sales, and product.
US Energy Cost Explorer (https://energy-maps.com) is a free tool for exploring electricity and natural gas costs across the US. You can compare states, follow prices over time, and look at bills and energy burden. I work in energy affordability, and I wanted to make this information easier for people to access and understand.
MarketGround (https://marketground.io) lets you draw an area or choose a travel time around a location, then explore its population, income, housing, and nearby businesses. It also shows daytime versus nighttime population, which is useful when thinking about who might actually be around a potential store or restaurant during business hours.
MarketGround is a side project, and I’ve found getting it in front of potential users harder than building it. I’d be interested in hearing from anyone who has evaluated a retail or franchise location. What information mattered most, and what was difficult to find?
