In my never ending search to improve Gridwatch, I stumbled on this
Golly, I thought, up to the minute (well last half hour anyway) solar and embedded wind data..
Going back to Jan 1... and then I looked closer.. gmt_datetime,loc_datetime,indo,england_wales,embedded_wind,embedded_solar ....

Not only do they have historic data, real time data, they have data from the future, too!
up to :

Astounding!
And then I realised, It's RENEWABLE energy, Like unicorns, global warming, and fairies, it's as real as you believe it is
