I live close enough that I got woken up by it; About ten or so miles away from me it was. |

Yeouch. Lucky for me I don't live near it. I would have had about 3 hours sleep at that point and would not have gotten up. YAY! |

Sad thing is, people need to be told this. The person who started up the 'plane' rumour needs to be shot. Now. Along with any other people who make up false rumours during these sort-of events. I will find this oddly, macabrely (is that a word?) hilarious if this was caused by smkong in a 'public place'. |

Sweet blimey. At least it's not terrorists, but questions will still be raised on how it happened. And they probably won't be answered for a while, if the fire at Southampton Uni near where I live is anything to go by. |

Ehh, you'll get some nutters proclaiming it was terrorists, and zealous greenies saying that it's "another reason to ditch this terrible source of energy". To which I would throw straw and them and tell them to build a house. |

i hope for your sake it was the idea of people getting close for a story rather than the idea of a fuel depot exploding that you found cool but this is a serious problem if it's going to be as cold as it was last year a fuel shortage like this could spell power cuts ue to the fact we sent most of our emergancy fuel reserves to america after the hurican hit new orleans |

If there's a fuel shortage it'll be because impressionable paranoid twats'll have panic bought too much of it. That's the thing with panic buying. It causes more problems than the original cause of the shortage. |

I meant the bit where he said that people would use it as a reason for oil being a bad energy source. If I remember correctly he argued at quite some length in a thread a few months ago about there being no need for alternate energy sources. I was referencing that. |

Got a friend on msn right now who lived 2 (yes TWO!) miles away from it, just about threw him out of bed this morning. Air stinks down there apparently, like a mixture of soot, fish, petrol and mud according to him. He went out to get a drink from Tesco and came back with a headache. Can only imagine the noise waking you up with the shaking, musta felt like an earthquake. |

I doubt we'll freeze this winter. That place only handeled 5% of Britains fuel. Besides-there are always stockpiles saved in other depots for emergency's. But on the topic of people filming this-is it just me or is this becoming WAY too prevailant? Imagine they'd had camera phones when Kennedy was shot-you can bet some bastard would have it as his phone's screen saver within minutes. The fact these fools got really close (close enough to be shredded if a secondary explosion occured) boggles my mind-first people would de-evolve on camera for the gratification of the howling hordes (like Big Brother, I'm a Celebrity) Then they decided to try and resurect the Coliseum mentality in Celebrity wrestling (thankfully it failed horrbly) and NOW they're willing to risk life and limb for a few seconds of grainy footage, fifteen minutes of fame and a few hundred quid? (bangs heead on desk) idiots, idiots, idiots... |

Hmm...is that Space Cadets thing nearby to it? Ok I know its already finished more than likely (how would they be tricked otherwise?) but can you imagine if THEY heard it....they believe they are in Russia remember....you do NOT wanna hear an explosion in Russia. :rolleyes: |

You didn't remember correctly. I'm for research going into other energy sources. I just hold it in disdain when people call them "renewable" (Set amount of energy, conversion only, not renewable. Pah) and the blatant overdependence some people, a damn lot being greenies with the scientific knowledge of a gnat, put upon them, especially wind. If you think I'm against using other energy sources, please explain why I'm for nuclear energy? ------------------------ TO THE POINT: Hey, if people are willing to get too close, it's "natural selection". And I remember a video. How did it go? Ahh. "Yeah, it's probably going to explode some more, I'm just hoping it won't do it while I'm still here!" My response? GET AWAY YOU DAMN MORON. And Retro, I have family near, and they heard a massive explosion. They never knew what it was. They thought it was theives. |

I think Greenies always try to provoke an arguement for these kinds of power, regardless of practicallity. I mean-solar? in Britain? It's great if you live in Texas or Arizona but in a country where the defining weather is 'cold and miserable?' Nuclear does seem to be the way we'll have to go although it raises issues- 1 Where to build 'em. I wouldn't want one next door to me. 2 The waste problem- It's got to be dealt with somehow. Remeber MGS where Barkwer tells Snake there are thousands of drums of nuclear waste in the base? Can't do that for ever.. 3 Dangers of 'splosions. Remember what Rich Hall said a few years ago " Some workers at a nuclear reactor almost caused a meltdown when they were mixing Uranium in a bucket. Now let me just repeat that-Uranium in a BUCKET! Two words that should NEVER be in the same sentance together, it's those two. Knda like "Office stapler" and "Brain Surgery.." And as for the people on space cadets....*sigh* the sheer stupidity of them makes me yearn for nuclear holocaust in five minutes... |

Solar power would work in Britain. I mean, it doesn't have to be sunny to work. It just has to be daytime. Stick solar panels on roofs of houses and perhaps a few windmills... That would cover a lot of household power needs, especially if the excess energy produced could be stored. Bearing in mind I was given this idea by a British gas technician, it probably ain't feasible. But, heck, if it weren't for the asdtronomical cost I'd do it. Shining roff and a windmill? Sold. :P |

Well true, but from what I've heard Solar pannels aren't too great when it rains-something about it messing up the surface. Not too sure of the details though. As for wind -well why not just live in a windmill? It'd be pretty cool-you could wear a pink suit and carry a large bird around that lunges at people's genitals....hang on, that's been done before.... |

Solar would work. I'm very much for solar. Except that, according to someone who was interviewed by BBC London, it cost him around £200,000 to rig his house up for Solar energy. I'm sorry, but that's just a bit too much. Nuclear is my option, until the government decide to subsidise solar power. Unlike the Green Party morons who have a spaz attack at its mere mention, I'm able to look beyond Chernobyl - A poorly maintained Soviet plant from 19 years ago, and realise that maybe a modern, well maintained British plant might not go critical. Besides, it's cheaper - And I'm sorry, but if I have a choice between saving the enviroment for another three hours or whatever, and loosing a lot of money, I'll have my money thankyou very much. |

I'm a hydroelectric man meself. There are some ecological problems to iron out if it wants to be the dominant provider, such as planned flooding, but it is probably the most reliable source of sustainable energy out there. I haven't much beef with nuclear. It beats pumping C02 in the atmosphere, and the measures taken to dispose of the waste has gotten better. Granted it could be a LOT better, but I'm willing to put my faith in science for this one. |

"i hope for your sake it was the idea of people getting close for a story rather than the idea of a fuel depot exploding that you found cool" Poor use of spelling, capitalisation and punctuation aside, that sounded slightly confrontational. All I meant was I appreciated how brave these guys were to make moneyand fame. The funniest part was when one bloke turns to his camera-man buddy and goes "If we don't leave right now, we're going to die." In a totally normal voice! To be fair, there was a huge oil container that hadn't yet blown and would have made chargilled steak out of anything within half a mile... They got within a couple hundred feet of the whole thing and later - when interviewed by the Beeb - exclaimed how hot and unpleasant it all was. The best part was the live report at 8ish last night with the presenter standing a good couple of miles away, and in the background on the horizon we could clearly see the blazing inferno it had become. It made me laugh out loud at how badly things escalated not too long after the amateurs scarpered. |

Solar is practically nuclear. What's the big ball in the sky if not a nuclear reaction? All solar panels are doing is harnessing the power. Honestly, how much nuclear waste has been produced? Barely enough for a football stadium. Yay. Nuclear has got so many scare stories related to it. But if people were really against it, I dare them to live without the sun. |
