Can someone explain why when you are faced with an extended delay waiting like yesterday the engines have t keep running?

From memory an A330 burns about a tonne an hour at ground idle. If we were all serious about the global warming circus, you would shut down and run on APU.

Is this possible? If not why?

Dutch Roll, How many tonnes does your flying aluminium tube of choice burn sitting around waiting for somewhere to go?
