Unproven and marketing hype. This technology is also not able to heat/cool apartment buildings which as you know cities are comprised of in the most population dense areas.

Needless to say that the expense of purchasing, installing and maintaining these is out of reach for most people and they will never recoup those costs in savings.
Maybe if the technology improves and becomes more affordable in the future like other things it could work, for houses but years away from that and not a solution to replace natural gas heating.

Here's a though, maybe reduce our taxes so people could afford EV's and heat pumps and that will encourage progress in the technology?

Or your grandkids will see you as the kind of idiot who not only allowed it to happen but actively tried to make it happen faster.

So the fact that its not so hot in one part of the country means there is no heat wave elsewhere?

All new electricity demand across the world will be wind, solar or nuclear.
By next year 1/3 of electricity generation will be renewable.

Demand for electricity will rise. Where it comes from won't matter.

If climate change is making countries so uninhabitable then why does so much of the world's population live in warm weather climates while so little of it live in cold Nordic climates. In fact so many Europeans migrated to the Americas which have a much hotter climate than all of Europe. We're not the idiots that made i happen faster. The wealthy are. All we did was live our lives and provided for our families.
