A revolutionary cryogenic tank design promises to radically boost the range of hydrogen-powered aircraft – to the point where clean, fuel-cell airliners could fly up to four times farther than comparable planes running on today's dirty jet fuel. Weight is the enemy of all things aerospace – indeed, hydrogen's superior energy storage per weight is what makes it such an attractive alternative to lithium batteries in the aviation world. We've written before about HyPoint's turbo air-cooled fuel cell technology, but its key differentiator in the aviation market is its enormous power density compared with traditional fuel cells. For its high...

A reporter had asked Biden whether he was considering delaying the lifting of Title 42. “There’s going to be an appeal by the Justice Department because as a matter of principal we want to be in a position where if in fact it is strongly concluded by the scientists that we need Title 42, that we be able to do that,” Biden said. “But there has been no decision on extending Title 42.” In a written statement, distributed by the White House less than two hours after those public remarks, Biden clarified that “there is no Department of Justice action...

And as explained below, your accusation that Representative Gabbard lied also has no basis in fact,” Dhillon wrote to Romney.“Your allegation that Representative Gabbard spoke ‘treasonous lies’ is clear-cut defamation,” Dhillon continued.
