Getting a voice activation and computer vision software to run on top of this would actually be the easy part.

I'm from Portugal and have very mild winters, which is a blessing. But heat pump sales are also rocketing in places like Norway and Iceland. A lot of sales in these countries are from ground source, but ASHP are also on the rise there.

they work just fine in norway and iceland, you just need to get an appropriate model.

I mean you can also pair them with an HVAC system instead of relying on central heating, but that also comes with it's own installation problems. Roughly how long ago was this construction project, if you don't mind me asking? Heat pump technology has developed very quickly in the last decade.

Lastly I just want to share a short article about the heat pump market. Over 30% sales increase in Europe is absolutely massive, and that's with supply chain issues in the mix.

I'm saving over 100€ per month during the winter since switching from gas to a heat pump. The 21st century rocks.

We are also seeing growth in industrial heat pumps and electric furnaces where applicable.

So while some applications will keep relying on fossil heat, electric heating can actually be a lot cheaper in many applications.

I just saw a post in r/capitalism or something about how "renewables are dying". I struggle to understand how one can see the exponential growth, and how over 80% of global newly installed capacity comes from renewables and still confidently say stuff like that.

It's not on the IEA report afaik
