Maps and statistics posts about population, geography and GIS in Britain and worldwide, using QGIS, ffmpeg and open datasets.
HN commenters link it for its population density and longest-straight-line analyses, its methodology write-ups, and its QGIS projection tips.
I look at California ISO's site

The difference between summer and winter for renewables is 20%. In California the difference is driven mostly by solar.
This is an interesting page.

Majority of the worlds population lives between 40 north and 10 degrees south. And also some places like Scotland had lots of wind.
Definitely winners and losers in the transition.
True, but the world population isn't distributed symmetrically: there aren't many living at high latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere. See graph "population by latitude" here: https://www.statsmapsnpix.com/2021/11/world-population-by-latitude.html
There are quite a few people living North of 45°N, but hardly any South of 45°S.
This seems to be a take on the original article about finding the densest square although not actually what is like in that square kilometre.

Very nice result. You can also do the same in QGIS, this blog post shows off using orthographic projection for other goals: https://www.statsmapsnpix.com/2019/09/globe-projections-and-insets-in-qgis.html
Part 2 goes into the methodology - it's some neat analysis!
