  While pushing  his voting bills, Biden told a crowd in Atlanta that “ Republicans today can’t and won’t” support voting rights for racial minorities. He discussed his bills interchangeably with the bipartisan Voting Rights Act of 1965, which was extended on a bipartisan basis multiple times. At the same time, while Biden was encouraging Congress to pass abortion rights legislation, he urged voters to elect more Democratic abortion rights supporters in November.  The bill in question did not receive the votes of Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), who support legal abortion in most cases, or Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV)

  The electricity produced in these facilities needs to be stored in supercapacitors so the energy can be released in a split second. Supercapacitors are heavy and bulky, and repeat use puts a huge burden on their costly, complex components. But the MHD generator can produce high-power electricity within a simple and relatively compact system. “The MHD generator has no rotating parts, among its numerous unique advantages,” Zhang and colleagues wrote. “It has a large capacity and high efficiency. There is no need for intermediate energy storage components. The energy can be directly transferred to the load without a high-power switch. And the device can start up quickly.” Some large laser weapons under development would need a megawatt or more of electricity to destroy a target from a long distance. China is developing a high-power microwave weapon capable of jamming planes and satellites that would reportedly require a gigawatt of input energy
