Data in general about electrical grids is surprisingly open. Not all of it is OSM-compatible in a copyright sense, but if you're just doing casual research or looking into the outage tracking system of various utilities, both public companies and cooperatives, you'll see how easy it is to just find this stuff, even if it isn't explicitly mapped in OpenStreetMap.
Censoring our map over paranoia about fringe incidents isn't the best idea anyways. On 1/18/2023 9:03 PM, john whelan wrote:
Apparently you can do a lot of expensive damage by firing a rifle bullet through them as happened more than once in the US and given the situation in Europe at the moment is there a risk that something similar could happen there? Should we have a process that says some things should not be mapped? I seem to recall that the location of the pipeline that supplies aviation fuel to airports is considered an official secret in the UK. Thoughts? Thank
