My first data suggestion deals with a more engaging way of showing the data. I'm still concerned with the fact that, even if we can get real-time data, the fact that it's streaming in ten-minute intervals makes it less than interesting. The interface on the top would allow the user to view all the data we've collected by sliding the bar from month to month. The graph follows the bar, giving the impression of seamless data flow without having to have said data.

My second idea deals with the way in which Kentuckians see energy. Coal powers most of the state (not to mention the country) and it's something to which Kentucky viewers can relate. Speaking to the average viewer in kilowatts won't strike as hard as speaking in coal. The fact that a mere three wind turbines can save that much coal in a single span of time is much more impressive.
