Integrate NREL ReV tool to access new Climate Model data
Feature Request
Ticket to track integration of NREL ReV in build_renewable_profiles. NREL ReV provides access to numerous climate model datasets. I'll be figuring out a way to loop this into our Atlite based build_renewable_profiles.py code.

Also this dataset by vibrant clean energy via PUDL which gives county level VRE profiles. May not work since its not rasterized data, but also may be a lower overhead option to match up with REEDs County zones.
This dataset was produced by Vibrant Clean Energy and is licensed to the public under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC-BY-4.0). The data consists of hourly, county-level renewable generation profiles in the continental United States and was compiled based on outputs from the NOAA HRRR weather model. Profiles are stated as a capacity factor (a percentage of nameplate capacity) and exist for onshore wind, offshore wind, and fixed-tilt solar generation types.
