Quick notes: Crude oil bill, Green Sahara...

  • Rupee fall: How rupee has been held hostage to a 70% surge in India's crude oil bill


  • EVs to the rescue? India can save about Rs 1.2 tn worth of forex by switching to e-2 wheelers... only as  clean as the grid powering them.


  • Greening the Sahara: "Large-scale solar and wind farms in the Sahara would more than double the precipitation." 


  • How Congress manages the economy:


  • SS-ADT: The Solid State Active Denial Technology is a non-lethal weapon system which disrupts hostile activities and can deny personnel from remaining in specific areas, without causing permanent physical harm or collateral damage.



  • Section 377: India’s ancient religions are actually very accepting of gay people

The criticism against this Greening-the-Sahara idea is that it could badly affect weather patterns in surrounding areas. It might adversely affect India's monsoon, for example.
