Beauty in Flowchart Form

September 14, 2010 3 comments

The phrase “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” is perhaps shown through my appreciation and, yes, affection for this flowchart. Literally hours can be spent getting lost in the data contained within this chart, yet in just minutes one can capture the overall picture – for example, solar power supplies very little of our electricity (at least directly), petroleum is largely used for transportation – though some goes to industrial processes.

*Sigh*

Beautiful.

For a larger version of this flowchart, see the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory website here.
