    The coalition’s announcement comes just months after the federal government doubled down on its own commitment to heat pumps, announcing $169 million in funding for the domestic production of the systems.

        NGL hating in heat pumps is like hating on EVs because they need charged longer than it takes to fill up a tank of gas. Yes the use case is not exactly 1:1 to the existing system, but it’s an improvement for energy use and emissions overall. (Not saying you’re hating on heat pumps, just a general observation)
