What GIS Shapefiles Are You Looking For?

Hi - I'd like to hear from you. I try to create maps and shapefiles that are useful and of interest, but most of the time it's all about my own interest so I thought I'd ask all of you to let me know about the shapefiles that you need, are looking for, can't find, wish you had...

Please post here or email me at mike@mapcruzin.com

Once I've compiled your want-lists, I'll get to work on them. Thanks so much.

IPCC: Renewable Energy Can Power the World

For years I've been asking myself why do we as a people (as in the government is us) invest major amounts in non-renewable, polluting, climate changing energy technologies while leaving table scraps for research and implementation of renewables? The answer, of course, is that unfortunately our government is not OUR government, not a government of the people, but a government of the rich and powerful who reap the benefits of government welfare and free research. Hopefully this report will begin to change the tide towards renewables and away from nuclear, coal, fracting, tar sands, oil shale... and any other unsustainable non-renewable energy source.

According to the IPCC, Close to 80 percent of the world’s energy supply could be met by renewables (solar, geothermal, ocean technologies, wind...) by mid-century if backed by the right enabling public policies a new report shows.

The findings, from over 120 researchers working with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), also indicate that the rising penetration of renewable energies could lead to cumulative greenhouse gas savings equivalent to 220 to 560 Gigatonnes of carbon dioxide (GtC02eq) between 2010 and 2050.

Heavy Flooding Coming to California and Nevada?

We've had a heavy snow year in the Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountains. Next week temperatures are forecast to increase dramatically in California and Nevada snow country. NOAA's California River Flood Center map shows that many California rivers are now above monitor stage and the Yolo Bypass is above flood stage and near the danger stage. We could be in for some major flooding.
