Großwärmepumpen are heating up Germany: capacity is expected to increase 6x by 2030.
Rivers and sea are increasingly being used as a heat source. The cost of heat pumps appears to be proportional to their size.
These and other findings from a new study:

Flooded disused coalmines could be a significant source of energy and provide cheap heat to thousands of homes, a new report argues.
Mine water geothermal heat (MWGH) systems use the water in flooded coalmines,
which is warmed by natural processes,
to supply low-carbon heat.
Heat exchangers and pumps recover the heat,
which is distributed via district heating networks to homes and buildings,
providing low-cost, long-term, stable energy.

It's been a while since an energy supplier in France offered dynamic prices to households. Since this month, there's a new one.
Sobry doesn't offer smart device control yet, but for most EVs and many heat pumps and A/Cs, device manufacturers or 3rd parties offer tools.

Colorado is making heat pumps actually affordable. The state just launched rebates up to $14,000 for energy efficiency upgrades, with $8,000 specifically for heat pumps.
This matters because heat pump sales already surpass gas furnaces nationwide, and new cold-climate tech means they work even in freezing temps. It's a real pathway to cut emissions and ditch fossil fuels.

Misinformation and populism also appear to be finite fuels, like fossil gas. In a generally sluggish German heating market, gas boilers are now losing out to heat pumps.

Five New England states just launched a $450M initiative to make heat pumps way more accessible.
The plan? Incentivize contractors to keep units in stock, dropping upfront costs by $500-$700 per heat pump. The goal is 580,000 residential installations by 2030, cutting 2.5M metric tons of carbon while lowering energy bills.

Washington's cap-and-invest auctions have raised billions now funding transit, heat pumps, and clean energy projects. Japan is activating multi-trillion-yen green finance for resilience and transition. China commissioned a 1 GW floating solar farm paired with aquaculture.
Policy meets practice, at scale.

Why it’s important new electricity demand is flexible (e.g. EV smart charging/V2G, flexible heat pumps):
“Stimulating flexible demand by 8.3% benefits solar producers 31 per cent more than if new demand follows traditional patterns by increasing capture price for solar producers by 9.9 per cent”

Australia can slash energy bills AND cut emissions—it's not either/or.
As aging coal plants need replacement, renewables with storage are now the cheapest option. Gas has become uncompetitive, and it's actually coal/gas prices driving bills up, not renewables.
The path forward: faster approvals, better competition, and switching homes to electric heat pumps and solar.
