Fuel supports and the electric buses going nowhere!
About this episode
The episode discusses government fuel supports for farmers, the disparity in sustainability grants between urban and rural areas, and the issue of idle electric buses due to lack of charging infrastructure.
The government gave more detail on the latest fuel supports for farmers and agricultural contractors but will it be enough to help the sector? And is there a 'green' divide opening up between urban and rural Ireland? a recent report shows that urban dwellers are benefitting more from sustainability grants. TCD Professor of Transportation Brian Caulfield joins Fran and Paul to discuss if EV car grants should favour those living in rural areas and how did over 100 new electric buses end up lying idle? [clue: there's no charger]! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
