Canada and Mexico. Electricity is being sold/bought from Canada and Mexico and that would maybe influence the map a great deal. I have the feeling that there is a missing context. Canada and Mexico.

The map would be useful, though, to show how much area would need to be covered with solar panels or windmills to provide the projected amount of power in those categories.
