Under control, but ‘It could go on for days.’

Nobody was injured and all employees have been accounted for, but Chief Fire Officer David Johnson, from Essex County Fire and Rescue Service (ECFRS), said it was one of the most challenging fires he had dealt with in his 20-year career.

    Thank God winter is almost over. Are we sure’green’ energy is sustainable?
    It’s like windmills, when they burn, they burn, and you can’t stop it.

    Sounds like a lot of money went up in smoke just like Solandria here in the USA except they didn’t have a fire, but the same result.

    My two cent observation is that any energy source is potentially dangerous, with the possible hazards increasing as the “energy density” of the source increases, regardless of how “green” it is.

  5. Rhys Jaggar says:

    I find the comments inappropriate, unless sabotage has taken place, the commenters know that is the case and are bragging about it.

    • DJ says:

      Nobody here is bragging about sabotage. As a matter of fact, nobody is bragging about anything. The commentators are rightly pointing out how ridiculous it is to rely on risky ventures under the cloak of “green” energy while utilizing traditional sources of energy to produce it. It’s like using coal fired power plants to charge your impotent electric car.

      Where do these idiots think the energy comes from? What’s laughable here is that they are burning trees which absorb CO2 to create more CO2. You couldn’t make this stuff up!

    Hope it keeps burning for a LONG time.
