The other day I was curious to see how much of New York State would be underwater if the sea rose by 300 feet. While Long Island and New York City, along with towns along the Hudson River would be heavily impacted, much of the state would remain dry with 300 feet of sea rise.

I thought it would be interesting to see how far out gas service goes across Albany County. It turns out that most urban and suburban properties in the county are serviced by gas lines.

This map shows the major power lines that move electricity through New York State and New England.
Brunner Island Steam Electric Station is a coal-fired electrical generation facility in York County, Pennsylvania. It occupies most of the area of the eponymous island on Susquehanna River. The power plant has three major units, which came online in 1961, 1965, and 1969, with respective generating capacities of 334 MW, 390 MW, and 759 MW (in winter conditions). In addition, three internal combustion generators (2.8 MWe each) were installed in 1967. Talen Energy will stop coal use at the plant in 2025.
