The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Whatever you say. libs have tried to shut down nat gas, fracking and coal, and drag their feet on nuclear.

I think people want a responsible approach. Industry is known for doing whatever is cheapest and screw the environment if they can do that. Greens get overzealous and overdo it. There was a cloud of natural gas over several states that appeared to be leaks from wells not properly closed. Some of it might be natural. Fracking did cause well water problems in areas and small frequent quakes. They wrote contracts that didn't include clean up and there were sludge dumps (some might be toxic) and well scrap concrete left behind on Republican farms - they weren't happy. Coal we need to move away from. Nuclear horror movies and accidents created a fear of nuke power that Q probably agrees with.

But around Fukushima time about half of Republicans supported nuclear power while 35-40% of Dems did. Dems were just more vocal, and we argued over it. Actually since Dems are somewhat better educated they probably understand better what happened at Fukushima than many Republicans, but trust industry less. After all, look at all the election lies y'all bought into.
