Any reason you chose green as the middle and red as the high end of positive. Generally green would indicate positive and red would indicate negative. Considering this is for renewable energy, it would make even more sense to have green be the high end.

Short answer: Basically I needed a lot of range.

Longer answer: I needed something bright for the low end and something with a wide range visually for the middle parts. Kansas was in a league of it's own in many ways. So basically anything with a green tint at all that wasn't completely yellow had a positive gain. For example, Washington State was -16%, Idaho was -24%, and Montana was +13%.

Hopefully that makes sense.

Are we looking at different graphics? The one I'm looking at ranges from -0.4 (percent, presumably?) to +21, with the later applying only to Kansas, and most of everything being a pretty uniform tan.

Yeah I could have made the graphic more clear. That -.39 is -39%, therefore the 21 is +2100%

Thank you for clarifying that!

You gotta learn some color theory. You basically made.a scale from 2-3 with 1 in the middle.
