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.

Trump and his cadre of idiots (confederacy of dunces?) have done more than just strengthened Iran’s position in the Middle East, they’ve also made our chief adversary, China, a lot stronger. All while weakening America’s stance throughout the world.

Boy, the American voters really screwed up.

But there’s good news! Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled over the last year.

Trump’s priorities speak loud and clear, if you’re willing to listen.

The following quote is from the gifted NYT article below:

The push to build out and diversify energy networks is going to continue long after the war ends. And China is poised to benefit most from the expected boon in renewables.

It is leagues ahead of the rest of the world in producing wind turbines, high-voltage cables, transformers, solar panels, batteries, software to manage energy flows and more.

China’s increasing role ensuring that other countries have a dependable supply of energy amplifies its strategic influence and importance.

“China looks to be an out-and-out winner,” analysts from Wood Mackenzie, a global energy consulting firm, concluded.

The Trump administration’s aggressive push to halt renewables energy projects — even paying companies to cancel wind farms — means the United States is essentially withdrawing from this global competition and ceding the industrial and technological advantage to its biggest rival.
