Heat pumps can help alleviate residential energy insecurity in the USA - Nature Energy
In the USA, households with heat pumps tend to cool their homes earlier, and this adoption helps narrow the income-based disparities in cooling usage. Heat pumps can help to alleviate residential energy insecurity and contribute to making energy more affordable and homes more comfortable, especially in the summer.

BBC decided to cancel a podcast on heat pumps deeming the topic "controversial" because it presented that the technology could contribute to net zero reducing carbon emmissions.
In 2025 an anti-science posture is not only valid, but required in any debate to be considered "balanced" 😬
