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" 😬

I hadn't heard that, but in this regulatory environment in the states, it would not surprise me if there are deliberate efforts to undermine battery technology.

Variation on the theme of the famous Upton Sinclair quote: "“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” The new version: "It's difficult for a man to speak the truth, when his salary depends on his telling the lie."

I have no doubt this will happen
