I tried to read, but that has to be the most user hostile site I’ve ever encountered. Ads and taking me unexpectedly to try to download apps. Wtf

Since you also posted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44640233, which includes discussion of the Grand Inga Dam but also the broader issue of big dams, and because we need to avoid repetition/overlap in front-page stories, I'll bury this submission and leave the other one up.
