How close is the nearest power plant?

Every generating plant in the Energy Information Administration's Form 860 inventory: the nearest plant of 100 megawatts or more, the plants within 10 miles by fuel, the nearest wind farm and utility-scale solar farm from the USGS databases, and, for ZIPs within 50 miles of the Perry or Davis-Besse nuclear plants, which emergency planning zone they fall in.

1,229 of 1,233 ZIPs have data; median 17 mi.
