Map-py Friday

1. Purdue University has used the brilliance of Google Earth to map CO2 emissions (plug-in needed) in the United States. The scalability of Google Earth has certainly not been fully utilized. In my former job, I recall it being employed to display real time power prices in the Northeastern US, which is useful for basis trades. I'm just thinking of the potentials and what comes straight to mind is actually: Ushahidi.com
2. Credit Crunch much? It seems that the heftiness of the lack of capital is eating up on the West's pledge of $18billion to developing nations to combat climate change. Only $1 billion has been paid out.
3. Today is Map Friday so here is another map from the Environmental Defense Fund that shows the effect of caps on Global emissions reduction.

Happy Friday!
