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.

Despite what you've been told...


Your quoted material does not appear in either of your links, one dated Oct 16, 2018 and the other seems to quote a 2007 study.

The Industry Week article mostly compares hybrids and conventional engines, not plug-in electrics and conventional engines, except for, well, this:

...electric cars are emission-free on the road, they still discharge a lot of the carbon-dioxide that conventional cars do if they are made in a factory powered by fossil fuels.

That's a big "if".

And the Science article (How Stuff Works) has a dead link [source: Burnham et al] to an Argonne study so it's impossible to know when the study was published and the specifics of the study.

Got a link to that study or any more current articles for us? Even the 2018 article is ancient in this field.
