I’m also wondering what’s going to happen with heating in general. In Germany for example heat pumps are all but required now for all new heating systems in homes. But why do we need to have one heater per home? District heating can be done far more efficiently than individual buildings, but it’s almost never considered. Of course companies can make a lot more money selling hundreds of thousands of gest pumps than they can building a few district heating systems. And those would again most likely be powered by fossil fuels, as existing ones outside of China and Russia are.

Anyway, I’ve just been thinking that there are alternatives, but instead profits and “individual responsibility” must be prioritized rather than the climate emergency.
