@What does "could care less" mean? 

In California inches toward 300 megawatt solar plant

"could care less" is a very odd americanism as, I'm sure, several people in front of me in the queue are also explaining. It means "couldn't care less".

Doesn't make much sense to me, but apparently it works. I'm just trying to figure out why a nominally British webloid would be using an american phrase like that. Oh well.
