Energy Map of America

Where are the major oil fields in the US? How about the Nuclear power plants or coal fields? What parts have the most solar energy potential? MSNBC took data from various US departments and created a rough outline of where these energy sources are.

US Map of Male vs Female Singles

National Geographic has released a US national map of the number of single single men and women. The disparity between the two is seemingly in line with the old saying” Go West! young man, go west”.

If you are a determinedly single woman and want to be part of a larger pool of consumers then Chicago, Philadelphia & NYC seem to be the place for you….. and the men who want to change your mind.

Visa versa if you are a single male and just want to work without the distraction then you seemingly live in San Francisco, LA, Las Vegas & Austin. As we all know those places have long lines of people hoping to attract the attention of those single men.
