Biden evinced

  Biden evinced  these competing traits during the 2020 campaign , when he played up his penchant for bipartisan deal-making to win over suburban voters while he wooed backers of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) with promises of the most progressive agenda since the New Deal. He carried this with him during his 36 years in the Senate,  when he led the tanking of Robert Bork’s nomination to the Supreme Court in proceedings that poisoned the judicial confirmation process for decades while palling around with Sen. Strom Thurmond (R-SC). It is therefore unsurprising that these attributes are now on full display during the debt ceiling talks.

Zhang’s team said their generator system could produce one gigawatt of electricity

  Zhang’s team said their generator system could produce one gigawatt of electricity from just five cubic metres (177 cubic feet) of hypersonic plasma. Chinese team powers up ultra-high microwave output: paper Other researchers have tried setting off dynamite to generate hypersonic shock waves for an MHD generator, but this approach required lots of chemical explosives and was largely abandoned because of safety concerns, Zhang’s team said. Turning explosive energy into electricity is not easy, according to a Beijing-based researcher not involved in Zhang’s study. An MHD generator works efficiently with gas at high temperatures. But the faster the gas travels, the more quickly it cools. Zhang’s team was able to achieve extremely high speeds and temperatures at the same time, said the researcher who requested not to be named due to the sensitivity of the issue. Explosions are also difficult to control, and taming this extreme process for energy production could benefit society, the ...
