Creating simple heatmaps
The U.S. Energy Information Administration has a great website and is a go-to resource for anything energy data-related. The site has gone through a number of design changes, and provides a great GUI tool to explore various datasets, however to really dig into historical data, it's easier to bring data in from the back. Luckily, EIA has developed an API to allow for easy access to historical data with Python.
