4. Indian Government Abandons Costly Solar Power, Becomes World’s Largest Producer Of Greenhouse Gases
   The amount of electricity generated by wind turbines and solar panels is inefficient and doesn’t coincide with times of day when power is most needed. This poses an enormous safety challenge to grid operators and makes power grids vastly more fragile.
   The government’s green energy ministry wants to solve the problem by paying solar companies for any electricity generated, even if it isn’t used.
   India’s power grid is already extremely fragile, as the country is spending quite a bit supporting solar power. The country increased solar subsidies by a factor of eight last year, raising the amount spent from $92 million to $770 million annually. India got a series of loans worth $1.5 billion in January from international financial institutions for rooftop solar power.

   close enough… right?
   “On the same day Abdirahman Abdi was pronounced dead, Ottawa police
   moved to hire a Somali-Canadian man who had failed a background check,
   prompting the civilian investigator in charge of vetting officers to resign.”
