Renewable-energy siting: solar and wind power plants (WRI Global Power Plant Database) coloured by the local RESOURCE - how good the sun/wind actually is where each plant sits, from NASA POWER's 20-year climatology (solar GHI / 50 m wind speed). Larger, darker-red points sit on a better resource (well sited); smaller, yellow points sit on a poorer one. Toggle the solar/wind layers in the legend; click any plant for its full WRI record plus the sampled resource value. Cached: re-runs reuse the cache unless force=true.
