BenjaminHCCarr, 5 hours ago to renewableenergy The One Thing That’s Holding Back the #HeatPump One recent study found that if everyone in #US got a heat pump, it’d slash emissions in building sector by 36 to 64%, and cut overall national #emissions by 5-9%. (Because they’re fully electric, #heatpumps run on a grid increasingly loaded with #renewableenergy.) It’s not the technology itself. It’s that we don’t yet have enough trained workers to install heat pumps for full-tilt #decarbonization. https://www.wired.com/story/heat-pump-worker-shortage/ https://archive.ph/dA2mV
