Oil is essential for our lifestyle. Stop being a NIMBY.

Typical... no-one cares until it affects them =/ Naturally you'll be the first ones to complain when it does actually affect you.

I tried, I really did, but I just can't help myself.

It's "Destruction".

I doubt it, the problem is perception of where you live, or the invested interest you have in the area.

I couldn't really care less if this was happening here, it would be a minor development here, there's already a chemical plant the size of a large town over the river

I live in Reigate which is pretty close to this, but since its not quite close enough to effect me then I don't care!

Could bring jobs to the area though and the drills don't seem to be that much of an eyesore really. If they are restoring the area afterwards then I don't really see the problem.

The application is for exploration rather than production. The site would be "restored" following the exploration stage. Production would be a covered in a separate planning application. Technically, objecting to applications that have not yet been submitted "does not count", but it would be naive to assume that Europa would not submit a planning application for production if it discovers hydrocarbons. If this was successful, construction would begin anew. If oil was discovered this would probably be transported by tanker. If gas was discovered it's possible that this would fuel an on site power plant that would be connected to the National Grid.

"Hello, we are making this all up, but dont worry, we dont need oil . . . . . "

I wouldn't care if it happened at the end of teh street. Oil is essential, jobs in this climate is essential. Damage can and will be minimized. But it should and hopefully will go ahead.

Aww, think of it as a little baby oil extraction site, before you know it will be a fully grown oil drilling site so appreciate it while you can. They grow so fast these days.

It's "in the national economic interest", drill boys drill.
