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.

The key to solving this challenge that will satisfy everyone (except oil producers) is finding a suitable zero-emission base load energy source. That requires innovative thinking. Here is a news article about one very promising path from MIT:
