Battery recycling plant explodes - twice. Major HAZMAT disaster.

A battery recycling facility near Glasgow in Scotland has just blown up - for the second time in 12 months. Toxic, carcinogenic chemicals including hydrofluoric acid, hydrogen cyanide, heavy metal compounds including cobalt oxide, manganese oxide and nickel oxide, plus phosphorous oxyfluoride, formaldehyde and acrolein rained down over nearby houses, and the plume of contamination widens.Regulators and politicians at all levels are very disappointed. Lots of hand-wringing there. The company that owns the facility, Fenix, wants you to know it takes safety very seriously indeed. And of course the Easter bunny - he might be real.In other news: Thankfully, we’re still on track for ‘net zero’. Let’s not let any pesky details get in the way of that vital goal.
