  • President Biden had to choose and he went with the progressives

    Oct 4, 2021

    WASHINGTON – For well over a year now, President Joe Biden's vaunted negotiating style largely boiled down to this: I'm with you. After he vanquished Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Democratic primary, he brought the liberal icon's ardent supporters into the fold by embracing much of the senator's platform even as he ran on unifying the country. When moderate Democrats came to call, he used the tones of centrism to assure them of his conciliatory bona fides. But when Biden ventured to the Capitol on Friday to help House Democrats out of their t...

  • Upper Midwest renewable energy projects spark need for more power lines

    Oct 4, 2021

    Xcel Energy cut the size of the Crown Ridge II wind farm in South Dakota by one-third because of a growing problem on the Midwest's electricity grid: too much traffic.

Some, like Crown Ridge II, get downsized; others get canceled altogether. "The grid is full today," said Michael Lamb, Minneapolis-based Xcel's senior...

  • COVID-19 deaths eclipse 700,000 in US as delta variant rages

    Oct 4, 2021

The milestone is deeply frustrating to doctors, public health officials and the American public, who watched a pandemic that...
