Interesting site, with a great treasure trove of information. If you are looking for energy intensive activities, including manufacturing and data-centers, this looks like a great place to start.

One thing stood out for me, for the top 2 economies in the world, US and China. The energy price for US businesses = 0.150 $/kWh. The energy price for Chinese businesses = 0.093 $/kWh. I was kind of expecting 20-30% discount on energy in China. Factually, it looks like a 30+% discount. This, together with regulatory and labor laws, will make it impossible for the US to compete in manufacturing, and possibly in long-term large-scale data-center sectors.
