This
is not an isolated issue, it is a nationwide problem, apathy on a grand
scale. Cities are particularly prone to particulates and the lung
cancer that causes. They may have done the right thing in procuring
the fleet, but not put the necessary support in place to make it happen.

‘The wider side of this is, even when they get chargers in place, how do you manage a fleet when there are council workers that will start at ridiculous hours… 5am in the morning?
CART BEFORE THE HORSE
A fleet of new multi-million-pound electric-powered bin wagons are on standby, as York Council have failed to build facilities to charge them in time for use. The council have been accused of hiding the new fleet, pictured in North Yorks, Jan 9 2023. [Considering the transition storm to come, this, mostly Lib-Dem and Labour council appears to be sitting on their hands, with an almost total lack of urgency when it comes to park and charge plug in charging facilities for EVs. Fat cats, very comfortable in front of their fossil fuel fires. Proving that the lack of forward planning is not just a Conservative thing. It is a cross-party failing.]
Did the energy giants not owe the EU a duty of care, to provide alternatives in the event of Russian aggression? Is profiteering from the misfortune of others immoral earnings?
