.ENERGY SecGranholm is under fire for making her fourth visit to Puerto Rico in five months. 'Plebeians are expected to minimize their carbon footprint while you've got five jets to Puerto Rico,' a Trump era official said.
The frequency of the trips has led to claims of hypocrisy from a former top Trump administration official, who said the visits are an example of the Biden White House's"rules for me versus rules for thee."
"It's totally possible to have a normal life of meetings without the travel to go do it." Granholm has spent 10 workdays in Puerto Rico since February this year. Granholm's trip includes touring a technical college, as well as meetings with a local homeowner, community solar project, and solar-backed businesses. She posted an image on Twitter on Tuesday of her visit with"members of the business community" to garner their input on the Energy Department's various green energy programs.

Insight-HXMT and GECAM-C observations of the brightest-of-all-time GRB 221009AGRB 221009A is the brightest gamma-ray burst ever detected since the discovery of this kind of energetic explosions. However, an accurate measurement of the prompt emission properties of this burst is very challenging due to its exceptional brightness. With joint observations of \textit{Insight}-HXMT and GECAM-C, we made an unprecedentedly accurate measurement of the emission during the first $\sim$1800 s of GRB 221009A, including its precursor, main emission (ME, which dominates the burst in flux), flaring emission and early afterglow, in the hard X-ray to soft gamma-ray band from $\sim$ 10 keV to $\sim$ 6 MeV. Based on the GECAM-C unsaturated data of the ME, we measure a record-breaking isotropic equivalent energy ($E_{\rm iso}$) of $\bf \sim 1.5 \times 10^{55}$ erg, which is about eight times the total rest-mass energy of the Sun. The early afterglow data require a significant jet break between 650 s and 1100 s, most likely at $\sim950$ s from the afterglow starting time $T_{AG}$, which corresponds to a jet opening angle of $\sim {0.7^\circ} \ (η_γn)^{1/8}$, where $n$ is the ambient medium density in units of $\rm cm^{-3}$ and $η_γ$ is the ratio between $γ$-ray energy and afterglow kinetic energy. The beaming-corrected total $γ$-ray energy $E_γ$ is $\sim 1.15 \times10^{51} \ (η_γ n)^{1/4}$ erg, which is typical for long GRBs. These results suggest that this GRB may have a special central engine, which could launch and collimate a very narrowly beamed jet with an ordinary energy budget, leading to exceptionally luminous gamma-ray radiation per unit solid angle. Alternatively, more GRBs might have such a narrow and bright beam, which are missed by an unfavorable viewing angle or have been detected without distance measurement.

Secretary of state backs standard driver's licenses for noncitizensThe Illinois House advanced a measure last week that would allow noncitizen residents who are currently eligible for a 'temporary visitor driver's license' to instead obtain a 'standard' driver's license that can be used as identification. Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias supports the plan, which is sponsored by Aurora Democrat Barbara Hernandez.
