Sorry, I don't see how information could be better presented through a HN type of setup than through a subreddit: a subreddit is a HN type of setup. What differences do you see between HN and subreddits that mean information can be more c

If you already know how to program, then maybe. Why don't you find out? If you don't already know how to program, then no. Programming languages are precise and unforgiving of "obvious" errors in ways that human languages aren't.

The article says there's total capacity of 43,461 MW in the USA. Hopefully the USA can manage more than the (from memory) 20%-30% utilisation rate the UK manages.
