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.
☀️🚗 Solar-powered cars could be getting closer to reality in China. Fuyao Glass has developed translucent solar glass that can turn a car’s roof into a small power generator. It won’t power the whole car, but the technology could help extend driving range and reduce reliance on the grid ⚡🌱
China is set to get solar-powered cars with new glass-based technology but there's some important caveats
