1,000 Cheeseburgers: A New Map of America’s Daily Energy Use

Saul Griffith, co-founder and CEO of Otherlab, presented for the first time an interactive wall-sized map detailing America’s daily energy use at the July gathering of What’s Now: San Francisco at Capgemini's Applied Innovation Exchange. Saul and his Otherlab team aggregated data from a wide range of obscure databases and created a dynamic visualization that shows the flow of energy through the entire American economy and society.

What’s Now: San Francisco is a monthly conversation stimulated by a local thought leader about the most important innovations emerging in the San Francisco Bay Area right now.

The series is hosted by Reinvent.
