British Oil-Fire Cloud Spreads to France

HOLY CRAP!

Firefighters used chemical foam to extinguish part of the inferno raging Monday after explosions at a fuel depot north of London, while a huge oily smoke cloud from the blaze drifted over northern France and headed toward Spain. The blasts Sunday, which injured 43 people, sent balls of fire into the sky and blew the doors off nearby houses, also contributed to a surge in oil prices to above $60 Monday.

The explosions came just four days after an al-Qaida videotape appeared on the Internet calling for attacks on facilities carrying oil that it claims has been stolen from Muslims in the Middle East, but police said they believed the blasts were accidental.

"We're keeping an open mind but there is no indication at this point that is anything other than an accident," Chief Superintendent Jeremy Alford said Monday. "When we get into the site ... we'll treat it as a scene which may be a crime. We'll do full forensics."

I can't wait for when we develop alternative fuel and fuel cell vehicles. Ford is supposed to have 250,000 hybrid and a bunch of alcohol capable vehicles this year. When the demand for oil drops to early 1900's level, the Middle East robber barons will have to eat their oil because we won't need very much of it.

Then al-Qaida will complain that we are starving Muslims to death by not buying their oil.

What about the use of ethanol? I have noticed some cities use a small percentage of it in the gasoline to make the vehicles burn cleaner.

Also wouldn't ethanol be easier to produce since we could grow our own corn for it to be made?
