Everyone's focusing on the possibly-dead Mitch McConnell failing to do his job in Congress, but Mike Johnson is still alive and he isn't doing his job in Congress either.

China is set to get solar-powered cars with new glass-based technology but there's some important caveats

China is set to get solar-powered cars with new glass-based roof technology, the only problem is that it won't be able to generate all of the car's power
