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:

And @INCIndia left behind unpaid oil bills worth Rs 2 lakh crore. Just as Rajiv Gandhi had a babalog's party and left behind unpaid bills for which India's gold had to be mortgaged. That is how Congress manages the economy. https://t.co/he2pE5GAHd
