hello @ajey35
I traced the broken Wired link referenced in the README and confirmed that it no longer resolves. The intent of that link is to provide an introductory explanation of Open Climate Fix’s solar electricity nowcasting work.

The archived Open Climate Fix blog post (“Starting Solar Electricity Nowcasting”, July 2019) is the original, first-party source describing this work and covers the same subject matter the Wired article referenced. The live version of the post is currently inaccessible, but a complete and verified Wayback Machine snapshot is available.

Because this is an official OCF article that directly explains the same concept as the broken Wired link, the archived URL is the most accurate and stable replacement.I’m opening a PR to update the README with the archived link.
