Jan Wildeboer shared a chart he says belongs in the classic 'How to lie with data visualization' collection, arguing it distorts energy data through misleading design choices. Commenters on Mastodon echoed the criticism, using it as a fresh teaching example of how graphics can deceive even when the underlying numbers are technically accurate.

Why now: A misleading energy-related chart is circulating and being used as a cautionary example of deceptive data visualization.
