Becker, Minnesota CNN —The smokestacks on the aging Sherco coal power plant tower over gleaming solar panels that stretch across thousands of acres of farmland. The polluting coal plant is on its way out, scheduled for retirement in the next five years. Experts say this is the secret to solving America’s clean energy dilemma: There is more electricity from clean energy waiting to get connected to the grid than the entire amount of energy currently on the grid. A view of Sherco power plant, which has been operating since the 1970s and is slated for full retirement by 2030. But the reality is, it’s there.”From super-polluters to clean energy juggernautsThe answer to supercharging clean energy could lie inside some of the most polluting power plants in the US.

☆ Prosecutor Drops Murder Charges Against Minnesota Trooper Amid Pushback

The top prosecutor in Minneapolis has dropped murder charges against a state trooper who fatally shot a motorist last year after a traffic stop, her office said on Sunday, a stunning turnaround in a case that ignited a political firestorm. The trooper, Ryan Londregan, had been charged with second-degree murder in the killing of Ricky Cobb II. But the prosecutor, Mary Moriarty, a longtime public defender who was elected Hennepin County attorney in 2022, said she concluded that the evidence was too weak to take to trial. For months, Ms. Moriarty defended the murder charges amid criticism from both Democratic and Republican officials, as well as law enforcement officials. Mr. Cobb, 33, was Black; Trooper Londregan, 27, is white.

☆ 4 red flags for an IRS tax audit — and how to avoid the 'audit lottery,' according to tax pros

But everyday filers could still face an audit — and certain issues are more prone to IRS scrutiny, experts say. Audit rates of individual income tax returns decreased for all income levels from tax years 2010 to 2019, largely due to lower IRS funding, according to a report from the Government Accountability Office. Here are some of the biggest IRS audit red flags. Unreasonable tax breaksAnother red flag could be excessive deductions compared to what's considered normal for your income level, according to Losi. Earned income tax creditThe earned income tax credit, a tax break for low- to moderate-income workers, has historically been scrutinized "because the refundable part attracts certain bad actors," said Steber.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minnesota state trooper accused in the fatal shooting of motorist Ricky Cobb II can remain free without bail while awaiting trial, a judge ruled Monday during a brief court hearing. Trooper Ryan Londregan must surrender his passport and avoid contact with witnesses and Cobb's relatives, the judge ruled. Seide told Cobb he was under arrest while Londregan reached inside, unlocked the doors and began opening the passenger door. The complaint said Cobb’s car began to slowly move forward. Seide and Trooper Garrett Erickson said they believed lethal force was necessary, according to a court document filed by the defense.

There was no active arrest warrant, but the troopers checked in with Ramsey County officials, who asked that Cobb be arrested. Londregan arrived and went to Cobb’s passenger door while Seide approached the driver’s side of Cobb’s car, according to the complaint. The troopers asked Cobb to get out of the car, which had its doors locked and front windows down, according to the complaint.

☆ Here's how to report 2022 crypto losses on your tax return
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-15 | by ( Kate Dore | Cfp | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

But if you're still recovering from last year's losses, it may be possible to score a tax break on your 2022 return. The crypto market plunged by nearly $1.4 trillion in 2022 after a series of bankruptcies, liquidity issues and the collapse of FTX, one of the biggest crypto exchanges. If you're itching to claim a crypto loss on your taxes, there are a few things to know, experts say. Offset gains with crypto lossesOne of the silver linings of plummeting assets is the chance to leverage tax-loss harvesting, or using losses to offset gains. If your crypto losses exceed other investment gains and $3,000 of regular income, you can use the rest in subsequent years, Greene-Lewis said.

▼ + stars: | 2023-01-30 | by ( Kate Dore | Cfp | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Plus, there's currently no "wash sale rule" for crypto. The rule blocks the tax break if you buy a "substantially identical" asset 30 days before or after the sale. If your crypto losses exceed other investment gains and $3,000 of regular income, you can use the rest in subsequent years, Greene-Lewis said. But it's easy to lose track of carryover losses and miss future opportunities to lower taxes, she warned. If you wind up getting, say, 10% back after claiming a bad debt deduction, that 10% becomes regular income.

Typically, crypto trading is more active when the market is going up, and that's when you are more likely to incur gains, he said. If you're sitting on crypto losses, there may be a silver lining: the chance to offset 2022 gains or carry losses forward to reduce profits in future years, Gordon explained.
